[quote=" post="477595588""] I’m really worried I’m loving up my relationship. We are engaged and our wedding date is August of 2019. We’ve been together 4 years and everything was great. I got a new job in March. Long hours, lots of stress. It’s starting to gently caress with me mentally - I work from 9 am to 7 pm on a good day, and usually it’s closer to 9 pm. At least twice a week I come home so exhausted I fall asleep on the couch before we even have dinner. At least once a month I cry by myself in the bathroom because of the stress. My wife has been super supportive but I sense her patience waning. She works but she’s also started doing all the chores and cooking dinner for me. I appreciate it and tell her this, but she keeps urging me to find a new job “before it affects our relationship”. I’ve missed about a half dozen events we were supposed to go to because of work - mostly dinners but also a movie with friends and a haunted house we were supposed to go to last Friday. My wife told me she understood. But I could tell she was pissed. I started job hunting about 2 weeks ago but it’s slow going and I know realistically it might be 2-3 months until I get a job. I wonder a lot if I should quit. My wife has said we could handle it financially with her job, but I worry about my unemploymed time stretching into the months or even years. I’m in the bathroom at work right now, and my boss has already said it’s going to be a late night. My wife and I planned a date night. I told her I’d be late and she just texted back “what else is new. See you when I see you” and my heart broke. [/quote] Just tell your boss you can't work late anymore. If he tries to force you, then quit. There's no reason to take that kind of poo poo. RCarr fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Oct 21, 2017 |

I had a job that had me working 70-80 hours a week, and I gave it up for a lower paying job that sees me work a steady 40 hours a week. It's totally worth it to get out of a soul crushing job.

loquacius posted:Your wife is right to be frustrated, even if she shouldn't be taking it out on you. You're actively looking for a new job already; being a jerk to you when you get work put on you at your current lovely job doesn't solve anything. But put her aside for a second: you seem fuckin' miserable there in your own right. Quit your job. Don't do it for her, do it for yourself. You'll be able to devote more time to job-searching and having an intact non-crushed soul can only do good things for your interview performance. Just don't let yourself get stuck in a rut in the meantime. Just move to Germany my friend.

seconding telling your boss no. explain that working like that is destroying your life and you can't do it anymore. maybe point out that it would be cheaper to hire a second person to pick up the extra work than continuing to pay you to work those extra hours. if they refuse then quit.

But it's not. A second person would be more money due to benefits. Better to work the first to the bone.

Lots of potential outcomes here 1) you stick with the job until it ruins your marriage and then you become so depressed you quit or get fired and your life is terrible. 2) you tell your boss to gently caress off with the late nights and you get fired. This will hurt but your wife will be extremely supportive because you were trying to save your marriage and take care of yourself and her, and in response your boss was a huge rear end in a top hat to you. You'll find another job. 3) you tell your boss to gently caress off with the late nights and he agrees and gives you the time off that you need. This is the most challenging one, because it's easy for him to do something like give you one night off a week and then hold that as a bargaining chip against you forever. Your wife will also resent this because it sounds like you're the type of person who might think you can never take anything more for yourself other than what your boss graciously gave you. Don't let yourself get in this condition. Make your argument a hard one: you're going to leave by 6 p.m. every night and that's it. Then either you get fired and you're back to step two, or you actually have a reasonable change in your life. 4) you just quit the job without confronting your boss. Also a great idea because it sounds like you hate it there. Your wife has a job and can support you, you will feel way better and more motivated when you are not working at a horrible place that makes your marriage fall apart, and you will find something else to work at sooner rather than later. Also get married sooner. If you've been living together for years why are you pushing it out another 22 months Poo poo guy: ahaahahahhahhahahahahhahahahhahhahahahhhahhahahahahhahahhahahhahhhahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahhHhhahahahhahahahhahhaaaaaaaa Jesus Christ dude why would you ask one of your friends if you could pay her to poop in front of you. It would have been awkward enough if you'd just asked as like a favor or something, but now she knows that you think she lets people watch her poop for money

Hey, if the guy doesn't post it online, and just used it for his own personal jerkoff stuff, then who cares? Nobody gets hurt right? Just ask Voyeur goon from a few pages back. Worked to the bone goon: Yeah, quit that poo poo. I took a pay cut to come to my current job, mind you that was like 13 years ago, I was early 20s and had little experience in my field, and hated the job I was at. Still worked out for the best. There IS a better job out there for you. Just keep up with sending out resumes. If you're too tired during the week, send like 10 every weekend.

Poopman you should start a profile on fetlife. Actually you might be too basic, but it’s worth a poo poo.

Idk I don't see why overworked goon's wife can't be a teensy bit more patient given the situation unless she's a low-key manipulator. And it's strange to see a few dozen posts that haven't even commented on it.

I support quitters. gently caress that poo poo. Don't live your life groveling, breaking yourself for a few cents. Tell your boss to gently caress off. Tell everyone to gently caress off. Dump your wife.

I'm going to take a slightly different tone with Overworked Goon: Hey, shitnuts, stop being a goddamn rear end in a top hat and get the gently caress out of there. If not for yourself, then for everyone else. The only reason why businesses get away with this poo poo is because spineless turds like you put up with it. A little overtime every now and again is ok and understandable. 12 hours a day nearly every day is loving not, and I bet you're not getting a single thin dime out of it either. Seriously.

Hard Job Guy: Don't quit. Instead, go the Dilbert route: reduce the quantity and quality of your work until it's just barely enough to not get fired. When your boss decided to get rid of you, negotiate a decent parachute. If you get fired, lawyer up (bonus points if you're nonwhite or disabled). Poop Guy: I'm detecting a touch of rear end Burgers here. There's a big difference between a tipsy girl at a party giggling "sure I'll poop for a thousand dollars!" and you showing up at her doorstep with cash in one hand and toilet paper in the other. Maybe get one of those programs that helps you work on social skills.

I could use a quick grand in USD. At least tangy and I will never judge you as we will never meet you in real life. Doing this to someone IRL is kinda creepy and they will look at you funny. Find professionals or someone needing some quick cash. It’s a better way to keep some space from your kink and real life. Also give us some money you moneybags goon. Murrican job goon: yeah you had good suggestions already but I’m backing up sticking with it until you snap. Put cams around the house so you catch her cheating on you. Afterwards, make all of them pay by making killdozer 2.0. Be quiet about it but try and make the ultimate killdozer. The world needs the return of killdozer. It cries for it. You know what you have to do. DogsInSpace! fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Oct 22, 2017 |

Overworked goon- Quit. If you’re too worried about unemployment, give yourself a 2-3 week deadline in job hunting then quit. Your fiancée seems pretty chill from your e-words. But you do need to ditch/improve that job before you drive her away too. Unless your job is as a “stuntcock” for rad MFF porn scenes. In that case, WHY ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?!? Live the dream, rear end. Poop goon (specifically the anon fesh one)- lol. Good luck with that.
