Does anyone else struggle with their significant other not understanding the nature and demand of our work? We constantly fight about me staying late and blames it on poor time management.

Mine is VERY understanding. She had a whole bunch of friends that were / are in the industry. Doesn’t mean that I still feel horrible about the incessant work.

Curious why this is an issue at the VP level. Feel you’re typically home by 8/8:30. Not ideal but not late and if you did need to leave earlier for an engagement, you have the latitude to do that

I made it pretty clear from the beginning that it was going to be an issue. This is a pretty fundamental issue so best to figure it out ASAP

They're not always wrong. It's just often poor management time management or process that wastes time.

It is a lot of poor time management. Wife is a consultant and she is very right

Often other people's poor time management though. You are the catcher / sweeper cleaning up the mess.

I don’t yeah you’re bad at setting expectations and time management

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
