< Newcommer - Or, trying to rethink my new life

Hello!

I am also new here, so here's a warm welcome from a fellow new patron.

Congratulations to your wife for finding a new job today: I hope it's one she enjoys.

I feel like I went through the same level of chaos but in reverse in the past few years: my long term relationship ended and I threw myself into my work - which for some time was the only thing going really well in my life.

Now I am kind of stuck with a horrible work-life balance and struggling to separate my identity and value from my work. Which is not easy because at the same time I am absolutely proud of it, and I enjoy the challenges.

It sounds like your parents divorced quite late, I hope they are OK!

Going backwards:

Yes, they did! 35 years of marriage. But it was for the better. Their relationship was not the best, far from it.

I can imagine :( I don't know what to say besides good luck in finding this balance. It is quite challenging, especially in this world which your job is everything. Maybe you do not need to change this side of you, just try to resignify it?

About the job, shes already happy with it and didn't even start haha
