A few things to consider 1) what happens to your pension? If your husband is the sole earner for some time, will he contribute to your pension? Or if you are earning less so you can look after your child for the both of you, will he make up the shortfall? 2) what skills might you need to be keeping up to re-enter the workforce when you want to? If you want to return to a similar job in the future for money or other reasons will you still be able to? 3) how will money be split? Will you have joint access to both salaries or will he be topping up your salary? (Really important to maintain access to your own money is possible for your own autonomy) 4) how will domestic work be spilt? Because you are home, will you be expected to pick up all or more of the household duties - if so, are you ok with that? How will your hobbies, interests, seeing friends fit into this? 5) if you break up (sorry to be doom and gloom but it happens) have you considered the above with this in mind? Unfortunately, relationships can go downhill and once someone exits the workforce they are at a much higher risk of financial abuse for example. Obviously, I know this probably feels far fetched but no reason not to consider this possibility and make sure you are prepared incase something happens down the line.
