Working Marriage
Oh no! Not like that!
My wife and I work together at a job that is remote.
My position is less glamorous than her position, and pays much less. I make up for this by working another job, and using my position at her place of work as a means to make some cash on the side.
I am technical, she is not. I make bloops and bleeps, and she makes people work. Our positions in no way have anything to do with each other. I couldn't begin to do her job, nor could she begin to understand what I do. Completely separate.
Recently she was told to go ahead and get the information I requested a(n) (un)reasonable amount for. Why? Who knows. It isn't her place to speak and understand technical lingo. All I know is that suddenly I was berated with questions concerning my proposal and asked to provide information prior to acceptance of the aforementioned proposal. I was taken aback that my own wife, the woman that I love with all my being, was being pitted against me. I reluctantly provided the requested information, and indirectly explained that I was hurt.
I fail at indirectly explaining I am hurt.
She is now very upset with me. Mending a broken network is my expertise. Sadly that skill doesn't transverse into marital mistakes. Perhaps time and humility will mend the situation.
