Confession or something

DH works for a large company and though he's salaried, he's in management and in line for bonuses based on performance of his branches. I know he works hard, usually 50-60 hours a week, checks emails and occassional finishes up tasks on the weekend. He worked on our honeymoon. He only took 4 days of vacation last year (to be with me w/ grandmas stuff), and worked through his furlough days.

Yes, I know I should be greatful that he gets bonuses, and see it as extra money for us..but they just ran this years #'s and it's 10K less than my salary. Surprise

Why the hell did I go back to work? Not that I want to go back to being a housewife, becuase I hated it, but ugh. I would much prefer to quit tihs hellish job I have now and then look for something, rather than juggling work and looking. Of course that won't happen, DH is a firm believer that it's easier to find a job, when you have a job.

  • Wait, so are we supposed to feel bad for you b/c your H made more money than you thought he would??

    Ha, jk, I do see what you're saying, but I definitely agree with your H's perspective on the job hunt. 

  • No, I realize I sound ungrateful. I just needed someplace to vent, I suppose.

  • I get it. It's totally sucky when there's all that work going in and not really much to show for it. (you said he's making 10K less than you for what sounds like a ton of work, right?)

    I also agree that there's no reason to quit a job until you have something to go to. It's just too risky with this economy. I'm right there with you, hating my job every day. Luckily, I love my boss and there's great benefits. Try to take a step back and find something good about what you're doing.
