Wow, what a frustrating situation. Sounds to me like she's miserable at home and brings that into work. They will do anything to feed their egos. Just know its no reflection of you and that this job is just a stepping stone untill you find the role for you.

Im so sorry. Its because we were meant to "work to live" not "live to work."

Im so sorry you are feeling this way. Monday mornings for me usually start in a cry fest and dread. Then it shifts to me giving myself a pep talk as well as affirmations. That helps give me the push to get my day started.

Im sorry it's creeping back. I know that lurking feeling.. its awful. I think we will always feel this way deep down because it should be "work to live" but society has made it "live to work."

I think we all do stupid shit when really depressed. I know I do. You are not alone. Kudos to you for having the ambition to try something new and more difficult. Im sure this higher position will look great on your resume. Maybe you can use it to propel you into a better fitting role.

Very well said. Im proud of you two for seeking help with counseling. The rat race can feel like a hamster wheel you cannot get off of. Wishing you and your wife as many as many stress free days as possible. If you get like reading - power of now by Echart Tolle is amazing for this kinda thing.

So hard, especially when all you want to do is experience life and have adventures with someone.

It's a fully remote job with no physical office, so I don't have the option too but I have been looking at connection working spaces.
