Career Woman♀️♂️
Your spouse’s career is destroying your marriage. They’re in their mid-20s and intensely driven, working longer hours to get ahead. By the time they come home, they’re mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted. They still love what they do but it leaves less and less room for your relationship. You’ve tried to talk about it, but the conversations go in circles. Counseling isn’t realistic with their schedule. And you’re starting to worry they’ll choose their career over your marriage – and the future they once said they wanted with you. So what do you do? Endure it and hope things change? Quit your job and downsize so you can build the life you both talked about? Try to renegotiate what your relationship looks like? Seek comfort somewhere else? Walk away? You still love them – and they still love you. But you’re at the end of your rope. You don’t just feel neglected – you feel abandoned. Like you’re the only one still trying. Something has to change. Because if it doesn’t, you will grow to resent them.
