• Simple advice, keep work related tasks away from you home...reading and responding to emails at home is an affront to your family. It prevents you... from having a relationship with your children. Take that time to know about their day and bond with them. Learn to play with your kids then they will share with your their hopes fears and everything about their lives.....remember when you retire you may not have a relationship with them and your employer will not want you anymore despite your proven record at work. Then you will be a liability  more

  • That is how nature works. You put in so much, but they take the life you give them for granted until they cannot afford it anymore. Learn to balance... work life and family life. Right now, it is very unbalanced.  more

Since you've supported his career for years and now have an opportunity of your own, I believe you... both deserve a chance to discuss a solution that respects each person's goals. Have you considered exploring opportunities in the new location or remote work before making a final decision? I hope you find a solution that works for both of you. ❤️ more

  • first of all, look at your family's financial situation, Without the promotion, are you all okay financially to handle or run your family? Is your... husbands income enough to support you without the promotion? Is there any form of jealousy from your husband?

    Your answers to all these will give directions. I do hope you get a right choice, if you are able to balance career and family, then go for it. If it comes with more money and might put your family at stake, then consider family.

  • From a counselling perspective, if you and your wife agreed that you would take a less demanding job to handle childcare, it is unfair to later make... you feel inadequate for honouring that agreement. Bringing a lower income, raising children, and supporting your spouse’s career are responsibilities, not signs of a lack of ambition. However, attraction cannot be forced. Your wife is entitled to her feelings, just as you are entitled to dignity and appreciation. Have an honest conversation about her new expectations and whether you still want the same things from your marriage. If she has genuinely lost her attraction to you and found it elsewhere, let her go in peace. Do not neglect your children, abandon your values, or constantly prove your worth to remain desirable; marriage must be about love.

    Your worth is not measured by your salary or someone else's attraction to you. A marriage should be built on mutual respect, shared responsibility, and appreciation—not shifting goalposts.

  • St. Peter says, "You're in luck. God has an opening and can see you right away." So, the man goes up tp God and says, "I believed in you and ... abandoned me." God tilts his head an says, "I sent you a car, a boat and a helicopter. What else did you want?" God may provide, but it's up to us to do the footwork.

  • A man lived close to a river. One day the sheriff drove up to his house, where a man was in his rocking on his porch. The sheriff told the man he need... to get in the car. The man replied, "I believe in God and he will provide." A little while later the water from the rising river was lapping at the man's porch. A boat came by and the man in the boat told the man in the rocking chair to get in the boat, because the river would continue to rise and the man in the rocking chair would drown. His reply was, "I believe in God and he will provide." Eventually the man had to climb on top of his roof. Just then a helicopter flew overhead and the man on the roof heard the pilot yell down to him, "This is your last chance. I'll lower the rope and you can climb up. Of course, the man once again said, "I believe in God and he will provide." Well, you guessed it, the man drowned. When he arrives at the pearly gates, he walks up to St. Peter and says, "I'm really angry and I need to speak with God." more

  • It's not the job it's the people

  • Yes, pls leave. Your wife is completely right. Ask for a time off or short sick leave or take your sick days. Since it's already affecting your... health, ask your family doctor to write you a note so that you can still be paid while on sick leave. I don't know your workplace and how sick days are handled. Speaking from my employer perspective. more

  • Hi Anon,
    Cognitive dissonnance is arguably one of the key reasons why people leave their jobs - and many of them do so on an emotional fling. The... better way to do it is to make an exit plan in which, wherever your ambition leads you, you will not be left in a financial crisis. If you are hunting for another job, do so very discreetly. If you are preparing to go off on your own, make sure that you have alreday started it and it is sufficiently capable of sustaining you while you grow it.
    After 24 years in teh corporate world, I left at teh age of 46 to start my own consultancy. Now, almost 20 years later, I am the owner of two companies, have a steady income, have a great staff complement of 8 self-sufficient people and I enjoy going to work every day! You can get all of that and more.

  • Good to be ambitious within the confine of family virtues. No wealth is enough looking at wealthy people in the world always chasing for more.... Contentment is the way to go, though not easy too. Wealth can disappear any time, so diversity is important that only come with promotion. You can not just remain in one position. You staff come and pass while you are there content only to start complaining later. Talk it over with your mate to get his or her logic but it's not worth avoiding climbing up the ladder. Frustration will be overwhelming in your final years of working life. My one cent.  more
