[quote=Anonymous]What if she hadnt built her business? What if our of necessity, she found a job where she could work 3/4 hrs a day?

Once I was a PhD candidate making effectively nothing working 60/70 hrs. My husband was in between projects on a consulting bench getting lunch and coffee and doing very little else.

An author or actress living off residuals has a very different work/life requirement than a teacher or middle-management level office worker. That person also took different levels of risk and had different periods when they did work hard.

Different life decisions lead to different outcomes. Jealousy doesn’t mean everyone should lead an equally miserable life. It means the miserable should look to improve their lot.

All that said OP it sounds from the fact that you’re hiding your work life that your husband would be jealous, resentful and dysfunctional. I would tell him the truth and encourage him to get to where you are in terms of life satisfaction. I would not take any blame for my own good decisions.[/quote]
