^^^My DH would be witting in the recliner reading, and would be unhappy that I’m out the door going to live my life. That’s the part that scares me. I don’t want to be stuck at home keeping him amused!

MOWC, DH is chief counsel at a fed agency and feels much the way you do about his job. He used to be an accountant and financial systems analyst, and loves being able to combine all those things with regulatory work. He gets to make policy, travel and work with a great group of folks. He doesn’t like the law firm life – he tends to look more like Rumpole than a K Street partner, and likes being the subject matter expert vs. a manager. While he could leave tomorrow and triple his salary, he’s content where he is (despite the 70 hour weeks). He also does the 24/7 thing and does calls from home, on vacations, etc. I just worry he’s going to drop dead before he ever retires.
