Dear Tom

What were your parents & teachers expectations regarding your job/career?

We often do what is expected of us by others and then feel unsatisfied with that part of your life.

Maybe it is time to ask yourself what kind of work would bring you joy even if it is not as prestigious or highly paid as your present situation. What does money represent to you? Is a career important to you & is it tied to your self-worth? Do you & your partner have the same outlook when it comes to work life balance? Would they be supportive if you wanted to retrain in a different career or earn less in an occupation that would be more fulfilling?

It takes a lot to be able to stop the unhappiness at work from leeching into homelife.
