I would like to hear experiences of those men who have made compromises on their career so that the wife and kids are happy.
In my case, I am in a wrong city for my career. It was okay many years ago but now it is just the Bay Area, Seattle etc that are good as they are tech destinations. After MBA, I should have moved there but I felt that since the wife was a SAHM, she had friends here and I decided not to try to move. The kids are in school and my older got into a program for smarter kids so I did not want to disturb that. We live in a great sub-div with good people around, and our house is great.
All that is good but my career is not growing and my ex classmates are way ahead of me. My kids are too small but my wife has no appreciation for any sacrifices that I have done. In fact she blames me, so I feel like I got hit on both sides. I am now actively looking to move out of here. The wife is okay (she is working now) and the kids don't know.
I just wanted to hear from others.
