[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But, I also quit my job when I felt like a pizza that had been sliced into too many pieces. I didn’t resent my spouse; I resented my job. So I quit to have more time to balance it all. [/quote] I could’ve written this right now. My spouse is a big law partner and I don’t resent her for it whatsoever - she works hard, travels a bunch, but makes amazing money. My job is inflexible and pays a fraction of the money, but provides us with health insurance at low cost. (Firms don’t). I don’t resent her job - I’m thrilled for her and for us. I resent the inflexibility of my job, the lack of understanding from my employer while she’s traveling, and am just generally burned out from doing my job + house care and childcare. I’m at the top of my career with no further upper mobility in terms of pay or job. But ready to call it quits and simplify my/our life and eliminate the stress. I understand not everyone has that option. [/quote]
