[quote=Anonymous]Maybe this.  I was in a job from the market crash until a year ago that was was incredibly stressful and competitive.  The company laid of half the staff, and those that remained had to survive based on their production (sales).  The market was lousy for my skill set to change companies (all in similar situation), and I felt lucky to still have a good paying job in my industry.   Anyway, I could not let any opportunity to close a deal slip away.  On every vacation (which were limited) I keep in constant touch with the office, and my clients for fear someone would snake them.  It was a boiler room atmosphere.   Maybe, just maybe the husband feels he needs to stay on top over things at work to assure he has a job going forward.  Maybe this is more important to the family in the long run, and the selfish wife cannot get her arms around that and wants to make him the bad guy.  Maybe those who suggest he is an "asshole" and "does not have the balls to stand up to his boss" don't know anything about the reality of the guy's job and its requirements (whether fair or not).  So without hearing his side, not the slanted self serving version served up by his wife, maybe judgement should be withheld on his mixed up motives of putting work and the ability to provide for his family above being 100% devoted to the family during a vacation where they can find plenty to do without him for a period of the trip.[/quote]
