I understand. My wife has an MA from Vanderbilt and I've got an Assoc. degree in computers. She quit working several years ago except for a couple of part time days a week but insists on bitching at me for working 50-60 hrs per week. I love the woman but like Rodney "I don't get no respect". I'm making the living here but I'm supposed to "understand" her and her "feelings". I'm starting to whine. Later.
My advice: demand she gets a full time or 30 hr week job and then split the house chores.....well, at least it's a start.
FYI: I worked 75-85 hrs (7 days per week) for 8 1/2; weeks straight with 1/2 day off. I got nagged at for 'always being tired' when I got home. The company didn't get the contract, but, we did some awesome R and D work and I got a hell of a raise in Jan. even though she had walked out in Oct. after 19 years.
You don't get something for nothing.....just keep the faith!
