If busting my ass makes my wife happy then her and I are going to have a conversation

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Mar 11 '10, 07:48

it isn't a priority in my life

The point here is, she's flat out saying it doesn't make her happy, and he's telling her she's wrong. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 07:48 8
- He may be right in that regard. My point was, if he really believes it's just to make her happy, I wouldn't be doing it, if I was him - oblique Mar 11, 07:49 7
  - I'm pretty sure he's doing it for himself, because it makes him happy. The fact it means his wife can buy expensive stuff is just a fringe benefit. -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 07:52 6
    - and I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least a part of why she was attracted to him in the first palce. - znufrii Mar 11, 07:54

      - I, personally, don't mark my life's work or derive my life's pleausre in how high I can move in my career. The things of this world are too fleeting - oblique Mar 11, 07:55 1
        
        That's a personal decision you have made for yourself and your family. Honestly, in the same circumstances I'd make the same decision. - Roger More Mar 11, 07:56
    - Even if that's the case, the flip side to the argument is that if it *truly* doesn't make her happy, then he shouldn't be doing it either -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 07:53 1
      - or at least work harder at making her happy and being with her. which may or may not require a cut in hours worked. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 07:54
