Re: Don't Marry Career Women
My wife's first husband made the mistake of obstructing her career goals by not letting her spread her wings when she got frustrated by limited advancement. He preferred that she stay in a "safe" job rather than try for a federally-funded position that may or may not have been renewed. So, she packed up and left him. Lucky for me.
When she asked me about another opportunity which came up, I told her to "go for it" as I could make up the financial shortfall in case the position was not renewed. I was quite confident that after 25 years in the system, she'd be able to get another position anyway.
The fact is that her "asking" me about it was a mere formality - she had already accepted the new challenge and thought it was proper to at least ask my opinion.
