I'm dealing with my wife who is constantly worried about finances. She thinks I'm not trying hard enough to get a better job or improve my education and she has enough of my laid back mentality.
I understand where she's coming from and how she wants us all to have a better life but we are in a new country and it takes time to build connections and assets. We're not in financial difficulties and we own a house with a manageable mortgage.

Please advise. She said that it's time that I stand up for myself.

any suggestions are welcomed!

Wow, Lost...you sure spread out your posts. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You came on in a frightened state, panicked in Nov '04, shortly after I signed on. What happened? What did you learn? AD posted to you and you didn't respond.

The issues you wrote about then were important...you were being verbally and emotionally abused. What did you change? Did you do the Emotional Needs (EN) questionnaire? How long have you known your wife had this emotional need, Financial Security, in her top five?

You still have four young children, right? Do you think your marriage could benefit from respect, a new mentality and belief system?
