[quote=Anonymous]Eh, I've been known to complain about my spouse but generally only with close friends/confidantes.  And pretty much never for reasons like those that seem to be bothering you.

I'm pleased as all hell that DH got out of the BigLaw pie-eating contest.  I'm somewhat less pleased that his whole identity and self-worth is now tied up in another professional venture with much lower odds of success and into which he puts even longer hours than he did in BigLaw.  I'd be a great deal more pleased if he had instead found himself a steady GS-13 gig that would allow him to be home more often.  But he's chasing the dragon of ambition and may just fall apart as a human being if this venture fails.  So, yeah, I vent about that to my girlfriends sometimes.

honestly, I don't think i've ever heard people complain about their spouse's lack of professional success around here.  I've heard some inappropriately awkward public complaining about spouse's various shortcomings but not the "professional success" bit.  I'm sure I've also heard inappropriate boasting.[/quote]
