hi Dinah,
if you want to cry at the lifelong dream coming true, is it possible that somewhere along the way your dreams changed on you, a bit?If you DO decide to give up therapy, can you build in an "emergency button" kind of money supply just in case you absolutely need it again for a while?
Also, I don't know what kind of work you do, but perhaps it would be possible to take what's considered a "lesser" job just to bring in a few $$$ and keep you social, if you move?
I think it would be difficult, as a strong and independent woman, to stop earning any money and have to be completely dependent on your husband for spending $ and pocket change and any items you want/need. I mean, of course in a good marriage it's not a big deal. And I believe your marriage is good, from the things you say. But still, it's nice to have at least a SMALL supply of your own...or a promise from the DH that there will always be an emergency fund for those necessary things (like therapy!)
But I'm just tossing out ideas based on how *I'd* feel, or how I think I'd feel, in your situation. They might not apply at all!
I hope you're doing well.
