[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to figure out if I'm being unreasonable or my spouse is being unreasonable, or if it's nothing.

Spouse one - interviewed internally for a new job, received offer, 15% pay raise, turned it down for losing security clearance which is too much of a negative at this point. Didn't think it necessary to tell spouse two since the job was turned down.

Spouse two - thinks all job offers from either spouse should be discussed with pros and cons considered, even if one spouse has made up their mind.

Both spouses work and are well paid, almost equally.

Do we have an "obligation" of sorts to bring job offers/discussion to each other, or to each their own to manage their own career and pay?[/quote]

Only share what you would actually seriously consider taking. Otherwise, it’s opening a can of “we could haves” over nothing. We could have moved into the bigger house. We could have sent DC to the better school. We could have gone to Bali for our 15th. What doesn’t get brought up is the negative consequences. I could have doubled my commute. You could have had all the PM pickups and driving to activities because my schedule is inflexible. [/quote]
