How do you feel about your role being financially responsible for the family ? Are you happy with it, no choice or resent it ?

I just see it as normal for us. I work full time (37 hours) and bring home a lot more than DH who works 84 hours. All our money is shared so it doesn't really matter who earns it. We have had years where DH earned more than me, but now the roles are reversed. I have the greater career earning potential so I will try and gain promotion so DH can drop his hours, I don't feel resentful or any negative thoughts.
