[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’ve read and re-read the accusations that I’ve shifted my story, and I still don’t get it. We of course want all the same things in an ideal world...I am just more compromising and realistic about what I am willing to give up. I’ll accept a house that’s not an aesthetic 10, I’ll accept a condo, I’ll accept solid but not 10/10 schools. That kind of stuff.

As for preschool...why is that such a bad example of diverging priorities? If preschool A checks all the basic boxes and is $1200 a month, but preschool B comes with bells and whistles and costs $1950 a month, that’s a 750 a month more for 2-3 years, which is very, very real money, and money that could be used elsewhere. That was a point of disagreement between us.

As for my willingness to apply to other jobs...sheesh. I often come into contact with financial regulator attorneys during the course of my work, and some of my work overlaps with them. I don’t currently have a competitive resume for it, but I see ways to get there (and to management where I work). I fail to see how I changed my tune on anything.[/quote]
