[quote=Anonymous]This may be happening in our family this fall. DH is the director of a non-profit who was recruited for a VP-level corporate job at a company that pays very well. The salary bump would've been a direct result of the low compensation at his organization and the transition to a company that pays much more, even for similar work. Our plan was that I would quit my stable-but-crappy job and focus on the graduate degree I'm currently working on part time. I think the only thing that will really change is that we will probably bump up our cleaning service to every week instead of every other week. I already do most of the cooking because I'm a foodie and he's happy to eat tuna out of the can. He would likely not be as available for picking DD up at school, but that's not the end of the world.

As for the issues about power, affairs, etc., I have seen people's positions go to their heads in a lot of ways. I'm not personally concerned about my DH suddenly becoming catnip to all the kittens in the corporate world. Not everyone's marriage is unstable and not everyone's husband is a philandering narcissist.

The job hasn't come through yet, but he's a finalist, per the recruiter. I don't feel the angst that the OP seems to feel, if she's not a troll.[/quote]
