I could be hearing things or misunderstanding entirely, but I'll share something that's been helpful to me.
Many years ago when my husband and I were in the required weekend marriage preparation course, one of the couples leading the course told this story.
They were in the supermarket buying their groceries when they walked past a furious argument in the frozen foods section. A man and woman were arguing loudly over which package of frozen asparagus to buy. The leader couple watched the screaming couple for a moment, then the husband turned to his wife and said "There's more here than asparagus."
The leader and his wife (and my husband and I) have used that expression ever since, and we've found it surprisingly helpful.
It sounds as if there's more here than asparagus.
You mentioned money a few times. Is it possible that the professional limitations are upsetting you particularly right now? Or could you maybe be mad at him for not protecting you? Or any number of other reasons?
If I'm way off, I apologize. It's just an impression and impressions are hard to come by in the written word.
