realistnola asked:
My friend’s husband became a partner in a law firm and decided that he wanted someone who was a professional, not the wife who supported him and raised the three kids. His girlfriend left her husband after she became a partner in a different law firm. He husband was a contractor and she wanted to move in different circles wit her daughter and not have a blue collar husband. They have now split up and are both begging their spouses to take them back. Has anyone else ever been in this position. I told my friend to get a boyfriend and others are telling her to take him back. She is very confused. Of course, those who can’t help themslves by saying it, she will have to make the decision. Just wondering whether anyone else has done something this. . . irrational.

Veritas asked: I’ll try to sum this up quickly. Ever since college my husband has been unsure about his career. He got a history major b/c he didn’t know what to do and thought “I can always teach.” Soon after college he married and joined the Army - again avoiding choosing a life career for the next 4 years. After the Army he got a job at a factory b/c the pay and benefits were good. Once again, avoiding the career issue.
Now he’s frustrated with the factory job (he can’t really advance like a professional would). He wants to find his career. He hates math and science so med school and engineering and electrical and other such jobs are out. He has no interest in law school. So we’re back to teaching. But we can’t support a family of 5 on it and pay off debts.
Any other career ideas? And guys….can you tell me if is this a common problem with men??
We are both committed to me staying at home with the children so 2 incomes is not an option.
I’m so frustrated - I want to help my husband make a good choice but we have been talking about this for 10 YEARS!
Good suggestion about part-time job - but what part-time job can you make a lot of money at?
We’re in Kansas. Yep he’s 30 years old. LOL
Does law enforcement pay well? Will he take a huge pay cut at first? He makes 45k now.

Nicky G asked: We have been together 7 years. He started becoming abusive 4 years into our relationship, after his parents split. I have no history of abuse in my family. He has years of it. I used to cower away when it first started, never defending myself and always afraid to upset him. Now, I find that I am quick as ever to insult and even quicker to throw a punch– he doesn’t even have to start getting physical.. negativity on his part sparks something inside of me that puts my guard up. I know we need professional help. I can’t bring myself to pick up the phone and ask for it though… Also, I have heard that talking about abuse will get you in trouble with the law if they feel like someone is in danger. In truth, it is mutual. We are both in danger of each other.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

recently my sister-in-law verbially attacked me and my husband said that it was between us and that he could not back me up. she was lieing about everything. she said that I have personal problems and should see a professional, that I **** my life and the world and everyone in it. that I snap at everyone. that I don’t have any friends and is a depressing person. that I bring nothing but gloom where ever I go. that I am the one that causes all the problems at work, that it is always me and I drive the other employees away. my husband just stood there and let her talk to me that way. I would back him up if someone was verbially attacking him.
