The Great Wall Part II

[fearless]

Karen's husband is not "addicted to work". i think he just has well meaning but misguided priorities.

After I reread what I wrote I realized that using an addiction example was too confining and obviously not directly applicable to Mr. Karen.

I still believe it is accurate to say that you cannot CONTROL another person's actions or decisions. You can influence them in many ways but not control them. AND, IMHO, in cases where people are controlled by another, I would say that that is an unhealthy relationship and I certainly don't want to be part of any relationship where I am controlled by someone or where I control someone else. I feel that I am responsible for my own happiness and I certainly wouldn't want to cede that control to another.

Anyway... yes I agree Karen's H probably isn't addicted to work but I disagree that changing jobs is NECESSARILY the answer (It certainly COULD be). I think that understanding the issue that Karen's H is avoiding is the bigger issue here.
