We have discussed the situation and after a little research it's quite viable for me to try and do freelance work or even start my own company.
My main concern that I will resentful making the move, but if we stay my partner will be resentful for staying.
I guess it's just part of being in a relationship. My past relationships have always been about me not feeling comfortable enough to stand up for what I want, but now I'm in a great, healthy relationship I'm trying to learn how to voice what I want and need while thinking about the relationship...wow...it's abit like going on Oprah
I would appreciate any advice, personal experience how you work on compremise.
I've seen this problem time and time again, and I often ask myself how 2 professionals, cannot sort such a little problem out. My wife is also a professional, I mean why can't I call myself a professional as well.
I have been put in this situation more than once, just to please the wife. I have no trouble surviving, But I suspected my professional wife, was not that professional after all. So I asked her to do a risk test, basically it was to do with stockmarket investment.
After we had both completed the test, my suspicions were backed up with evidence, that she suffered from risk aversion.
I mean how can one hold a position of responsibility, with risk aversion, I gather also that it probably effects more women, than men, probably age also has something to do with it.
I mention this because if you have the same problem, it is more your self confidence, than anything else. You should throw yourself in the deep end, you will be surprised I you cope.
Many professionals lack the confidence in themselves, when it comes to survival. I recommend adventure training and survival training to over come your worries. It will also benefit you in your work place.
