[quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. For me bad luck has been a factor, but also just not being willing to make certain sacrifices for my career. I got a great job offer early on...six months after applying, and a month after DH had accepted another. To make it work, we would have had to live states apart for a year or two with an infant. He was willing to try, I was not ok with my kid not seeing both his parents at that age. A year later I started a job working as a government contractor (individual) in a position I hoped would turn into a hire; Trump was elected, we're under hiring restrictions, and that's off the table. We are both job searching now but since I stepped off track early on, and he did not, I think he is going to have the career we both wen t to school for and I will just have to make something work. It's frustrating to fall so neatly into the trailing spouse stereotype. I said for years I never would. One step, and then it snowballs.[/quote]
