Is it bad if I just don’t want to work a corporate job anymore? My husband’s job can support us and he has a ton of time off throughout the year so in my dream world I quit corporate work, get a fun part time job at a retail store or something and just enjoy life and travel. My husband says he will support whatever I want to do and is fine with this fantasy world I have drummed up in my head. We are 29 and no kids yet. Am I crazy to want this??

If you’re in public accounting, absolutely not. It’s amazing this industry is still operating based on the long hours and subpar compensation.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
