[quote=Anonymous]My husband had a job like this up until a few years ago (his salary was more like $180k, but we're both lawyers and he was working way more than I would for that money).  He was so incredibly stressed out of his mind and I think he was blaming himself for not getting the work done, even though that was just not ever going to be possible.  I think part of it was also that a big portion of his work was a project he initiated and it was difficult for him to give up control of it.

Long story short, he was miserable and the misery was carrying over to how he interacted with me and the kids.  We had a come to jesus talk about it.  He applied for an open in-house job with a client with a slight pay cut but with bonuses and stock options that actually have resulted in more money in the end.  And most importantly his hours are VERY regular and the workload is manageable.

The transition period was stressful but I am seriously so thankful we're not there anymore.  Your husband needs a new job.  No one needs to live like that.  He's killing himself slowly.[/quote]
