I'm curious how exactly you're trapped. Do you have any dependents? I'd understand in that case but, if you were single or unmarried, then I would argue that you aren't trapped at all.

Yep, wife and kid. Wife won't contribute financially and refuses to move to a lower cost area. She also complains about our 1800sqft house being too small. Not sure how I ended up in such a bad situation... oh wait, it all changed once we got married. Damn legal documents.

  It doesn't seem like your job is your primary problem, tbh. You should consider couples' counseling. Or even just seeing a therapist solo.

    With financial independence the other problems would no longer be issues.

      You can't buy your way out of relationship problems unless you count hiring a divorce lawyer.

        The only problem in the relationship is the financial aspect - being trapped at a job I hate to pay all the bills.

        Try to find ways, even small ones, to dictate your own terms. Try not doing everything for a while.
