[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are opposites here - He cares deeply about his career/job and while I like (maybe even love my job), I can easily put it to the side (I'm a lawyer). I can tell you the differences between us: - I very much know that work is just what allows me to live my life. My husband cannot always make that distinction. - Even though we all spend at least 40 hours a week at work, I don't let the fact that I'm physically somewhere else for that amount time take over my life. My husband has said on numerous occasions "Well, I spend most of my time at work." In other words, just b/c you're there, does not mean you have to make a "life" there too. - I essentially don't care if I'm well-liked. I'm polite, make friends, etc., but I'm not overboard. My husband cares deeply that people like him. - I know that I'm good at what I do. I think my husband is insecure about his skills at times. So, he's always trying to prove himself. - [/quote]
