[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pursued my dream job. My husband never did. We both work a lot but my work is fun and my husband hates his. What can I do about it? Life isn’t perfect. You either choose to stay married and love each other or you don’t. I can’t force him to make better life decisions.[/quote]

[b]What can you do about it? You could do things to make your husband's life better for starters.[/b]

My husband went through a rough period at his work lately where he was having to do some things he hated doing for about a month. Knowing this, I did whatever I could to make the rest of his life better, so sometimes that meant doing more with the kids or the dogs in the mornings so he could sleep in or making more dinners so he could have more downtime after work. I can't change anything about his job, but I care enough about him to want him to be as happy as possible. You sound like someone who would resent it if you husband had gotten a fun job. [/quote]

Never ever in a million years do you see this advice given to men whose wives are in mommy-tracked jobs so they could have kids….[/quote]

What point are you trying to make? I would hope that women who mommy tracked would have discussed it with their husbands and they both decided that that made the nose sense for their family. My husband absolutely steps up when things are harder for me at work. During COVID I was slammed and he was not so he did way more of the childcare (our kids were young), the house cleaning, and everything else. I’d have been very pissed if we were still doing 50/50 with kids and house except I was working twice as many hours as he was. [/quote]
