just 'i would never do that.' period. it suggests someone's life choices are wrong, not just what you personally wouldn't do.

In this specific case, it's pretty much a given that he's made a wrong choice if it is causing a problem in his marriage (to whatever degree) - oblique Mar 11, 08:10 9
- what if, as Andie said, his career requires it? Many of them do. Maybe it's a career he loves. - loosilu Mar 11, 08:15 8
  - either her or the careeer in this case - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 08:25
  - He'd lead with "I need to for my job" instead of "Look at the money." -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 08:20
  - As I said, *I* personally wouldn't choose to put my career before my wife or my family -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:17 5
    - I get that. I'm saying maybe HE didn't make the wrong choice. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 08:18 4

        In what? Marrying him? Sorry, it's a two way street. You find the place in the middle where both can live happily -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:23 1
        
        Put it another way. My brother is a doctor. - loosilu Mar 11, 08:26
