She looked around for a new job for about three months then decided she wanted to start her own business, but it hasn't taken off. We've been married 15 years and have three kids and have always lived well on two incomes. Now we live paycheck-to-paycheck on my salary, and I do part-time jobs on the weekends to bring in a bit of extra cash. I'm starting to feel pressured that the financial security of the family is all on me and resentful that she is chasing a dream with her own business and isn't pulling her weight. I've suggested counseling but she isn't interested. What should I do? — Suburban Dad | | | Want more?Carolyn's been writing her advice column for two decades.
