I'm curious about the career paths our MLCers have taken. There seems to be a high level of long term professionals and/or entrepreneurs in our ranks, but it would be interesting to see if that's just an impression or if there's a pattern. Pick as many options as fits your situation.

Mr J has a stable MLC job. It is not the same job he had pre-MLC. It is something connected with DJing gear. He also has is DJ sets, even if these have been reducing.

So, he had a stable job, now has another. I think in terms of work Mr J did not lost stability. What he lost was a good job, with career opportunities. His crisis self seem to prefer the new job. His crisis also put our joint project on hold.

The ex had a secure state position for 8 years. Lost it due to choking his supervisor.

Holy crap In it! Seems choking is his go to form of aggression. He is a dangerous man and I am so glad you are far away from that now!

 Thanks bookwrmmom....me too.

Yep. I just totally dismissed his unacceptable behavior throughout the years. He had been physical with me more than once. After I ended up at the emergency room when I was trying to leave him ( in 2013) I decided that was it.

That incident with the supervisor happened nine years ago and he has not had a job since. They would not give him a reference. All they would do is confirm that he worked there if he ever decided to grow up and get a job.

I have option Z. Lost a stable job, wanted to go entrepreneur, got a stable job, then also actually went entrepreneur.  And he spends his life in Starbucks. Looking pretty pathetic on the few times I've seen him in there.

My wife was head/cook supervisor at one of our two schools. She's been demoted since BD to a cafeteria position. She told me Friday when she was here that she had been demoted. I've known it for months. She said it happened because the principal didn't like her. This is the same principal who used to come to our house to pick up GD14 and take her to dinner with them and their granddaughter.

I think it's possible the principal doesn't like the company she keeps. The alienator also works at the school. According to my daughter and others the administration there hates him but he got himself elected union president so he's untouchable. I've been told that he's been demoted twice. Probably wasn't his fault either time. A'hole.

My H had a high level,stable, secure government job as a senior manager for our state's ambulance service, having climbed the corporate ladder from an on-road paramedic. He is still there, there's been a job change which I suspect was a sideways move. But he is still in that stable secure high level employment. OW was and still his his secretary. MLC doesn't seem to have affected his work in any way.

My xH has had his own CPA practice since 1985.  Our D32 now works with him and is in a position to take it over if he ever retires. I doubt he will retire. EVER.

[trusting]

My H has maintained the same career since college.  He has worked at the same place for 11 years now.  His job is one that tends to be satisfying and fulfilling for most in the same field, but it sure became his "enemy" even probably at least three years pre-BD.  Leading up to BD and until a couple of years ago, he was constantly threatening to leave, not go back, quit the next day, etc.  I was also afraid he might not be able to be successful enough to keep the job.

Then somehow, it has slowly turned around so it is no longer the enemy.  He started to express hope for his job again.  Now, he is back at it with pre-MLC energy.  Wish that same energy would return regarding our marriage.
