[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a spouse in a bad place at work, and we agreed that every day I would ask him how his day was and he could vent for 5-10 minutes. But he had to wait until I asked, because I couldn't deal with the negativity the second he walked in the door, and he had to compartmentalize so that he wasn't negative all the time. Also, set aside/save the money from the raise. Don't let it create lifestyle creep. It gives you guys a cushion and options. Worst case scenario, he can retire early. [/quote] This is actually really great advice. I think setting a time limit and conditions for venting, would help. Sometimes it just kills the whole mood of the house. I think setting time for it could be helpful, for sure. I also can’t get into too anything too specific, but I can say he’s locked in and can’t quit the position for a set period of time, nor can he retire anytime soon. Thanks for the advice! [/quote]
