Dear Dr. Phil,
We got rid of our television a year and a half ago when our daughter was born, so I haven’t seen your show in a while, but my husband visits your web site with some regularity. He peruses the slideshow from the day’s episode, at the end of which I have on occasion found him weeping.
On Wednesday my darling husband read to me your “tip of the day” where you said that “if you’re stuck in a dead-end career...you are the one that has to put up the stop sign and say, ‘This is not what I had in mind for my life’.” Well, he had gone and put up his stop sign that very morning: he quit his job! He is planning a career transition. But there will be at least a few months of what can only be described as “joblessness” in the meantime. My question for you: Is this crazy? I think my husband would like for me to be like the wives of the eccentric geniuses of yore who blindly supported their men. However, he is now shocked that his wife doesn’t blissfully and blindly support all of his decisions! I do think his career move is the right choice, but his methods are a bit mad, cutting the line without the next step in place, when up until now he’s been supporting a wife and small child.
What’s your take on this?
Truly,
Liz Mann
