[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been married for almost 23 years and I know my husband would have told me to take the job and that we would figure out ways to see each other as much as possible. He would never give me an ultimatum like that. [/quote]

This. We just celebrated our 25th anniversary. We have a dual career household and it is not always smooth. My DH is far from perfect. When I go away on business trips, he sometimes gets pouty. I understood when the kids were younger but now that we have one in college and a driving HS kid, he still sometimes makes snide remarks. I have learned to let them go mostly and call out only when they are egregious. Despite his wanting me to be around, the two times a career opportunity has popped up for me out of state, his first instinct is to say “we’ll figure it out.”  Man doesn’t like me being away for a week but is immediately and is truly willing to try to come up with a solution to a job in a different state if it’s something I may want. Both times I have declined because of the kids at home but it is nice knowing my partner’s first instinct is to help me achieve what I want.

You want your partner to be excited for you more than they think of impact on them first. [/quote]
