[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cancelling or postponing a business trip because your spouse is in the hospital is not sacrificing your career.[/quote]

I think OP is in understandable fear that canceling her first trip after a promotion looks bad. And frankly it will to some. But if her DH gets hospitalized, she needs to treat it the same as [b]if he'd been in a terrible car crash and was hospitalized -- who would leave in that circumstanc[/b]e? No one. It might be a short-term ding with a few managers at work but not with any decent manager. [/quote]

The affair is a big part of the calculus for some PPs. Obviously need to make sure the kids are taken care of, but beyond that it's really optional for OP in terms of how much to be there for this DH.[/quote]

Of course the affair is part of the calculus. But maybe OP doesn't want the father of her kids to be, you know, dead, or so mentally unbalanced he can't be a father as they grow up.

That doesn't mean she has to stay married to him or be his caretaker, but right NOW, today, this weekend, she is in the middle of an immediate crisis and has to get questions answered and arrangements made. "Being there for him" or not is kind of irrelevant here and now. She's asking in her OP about logistics, not "Should I be his caretaker, should I 'be there' for him..." [/quote]
