[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if this is your boundary it’s fair to let him know that so he can make a decision accordingly.  Not a threat just a statement of what you can/cannot deal with in life.  I would focus not on the job but on his presence and involvement.  I think I’d also try hard to find a third path or point out that a third path may develop further down to road or maybe in 5 years that second path will be more realistic.  Life is rarely all or nothing.[/quote]

Use caution if promised a future compromise where he backs off and it’s your turn. We were in a similar situation and finally DH asked for just 18 months to get a promotion and more flexibility, and then he would pause and we could focus on my career progression.

It’s 8 years later and every 6 months it’s “just 6 more months”, and I’ve been sidelined as an individual contributor with no chances for promotion in my future and am just trying to hang on…all while still doing the entire 2nd shift at home.[/quote]
