[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m feeling emotional fatigue after making several sacrifices to support my husband’s career over the past few years. We’ve made major life changes to accommodate his job, including a specific condition I set when he took on a new position a few weeks ago. Now, he’s finding out he can’t meet that condition, and I’m feeling resentful and a bit lost.

I work, but he’s the primary breadwinner, and I’ve been understanding of his career demands. At the same time, I feel like I’ve sacrificed a lot of myself, and I’m at a point where I don’t want to keep giving pieces of myself for his job. I’m not asking for much, just balance, but I’m struggling with how to get past my disappointment. Also, I know people may suggest that he look for a different job, but that’s not an option right now because of the benefits and stability his current role provides.

How do you deal with this kind of sacrifice fatigue and re-establish balance when your partner’s career demands so much?[/quote]

Which solutions would you suggest if you were advising you and your spouse as a fair and neutral consultant? [/quote]
