My husband is a financial adviser for one of the top insurance/investment companies in the world. His income is strictly commission based. So if he makes a sale he gets paid if not he doesnt get paid. Husband is his own worst enemy. Nothing is ever enough. Sets these high goals and wears himself down trying to make the most in sales. Such a workaholic. Caused some problems in our marriage. He would work 6 days a week most of the time for 10 hours or more a day. Have off sunday to spend with me but then started going out with friends on our day.

I made a choice to finally let go, because I can't stand the pain, it's time for my last tear to fall and smile again.

Education.

My W is a teacher advisor for within a large NW UK education authority. She was in the classroom for 20 years before moving into this advisory role. Since last summer and the change of UK government, the formerly centrally funded programme on which she works has been axed in all but name and had to be funded locally. With all the spending cuts she and her colleagues have been given 12 months 'grace' to turn themselves into a self-funding unit - no local funding after March 2012.
