[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is high up in one of the alphabet soup government agencies. He's made decisions that have greatly affected foreign policy, and is faced with life-or-death decisions daily. His brother is a VP of a very large company (largest in the field).

Both are super stressed and constantly dream about stepping down to an easier, more fun job. But they are also afraid of losing the money and prestige.

The attention DH's job gets us can be fun, but 99%of the time people completely ignore me when they find out what he does since they just want to talk with him about his job. There's also a lot of comparison between us, and I think people are confused why he is with me since I work a very pink-collar job. There's been a lot of gossip that I'm just using him, which isn't true. [/quote]

If your husband really has a job like that, he would likely get a dramatic pay INCREASE when he left. People like that usually command high consulting fees and work when they want once they get out. Your husband is likely either not in the kind of job you’re claiming, or he’s pulled the wool over your eyes and downplayed what he could make if he left, because he wants to stay in the job for the prestige.
