Show DAILY HERALD Sunday, April 20, 2008 Not everyone needs to be 'driven' Carolyn: wife and I have married four years. We share a mortgage but don't have kids or other significant debt. My wife works a lot harder than I do. Her company pays her $100,000 a year, but she is always exhausted. I have a publishing business that pays me $150,000 annually. I have been building my business since before we married and now enjoy the passive income it provides us. My wife is resentful that she has to work so hard and she sees me kicking back. I would love to travel by myself once in a while or do a guys' trip, but I get nothing except guilt from her, which in turn makes'me angry and resentful. It feels like there is a constant cycle of resentment because of it. She stays in her job because there may be potential to move up, and because . she enjoys the challenge and responsibility. She is also making terrific contacts she likes working hard. I've always told her that if she doesn't like her job, I support anything she would choose to do, regardless of her income. Carolyn Hax Tell Me About It tion days she can use if she wants. I would need to get a second job to make more money, which we don't need right now. She implies that I am lazy and not driven. I disagree, I built my business with hard work and drive. Doesn't my income count heavily toward that argument? J.L. I suppose, but I would make a different argument entirely: that being "driven" is seriously overrated. Certainly I'm glad some peoin fact, ple are.

It's not just poets, volunteers, and people who make sure they have nothing more pressing to do than walk at their toddler's pace. It's people who think 40 hours more than suffice. You have a pretty sweet life. Whether you earned it or picked it up off the sidewalk is, I think, immaterial You are content with what you have. If your wife envies your contentment, then she needs to do something to find more with your cooperation, of course. Her insistence that you lessen your contentment, by taking on equal stress, of all things, is appalling. A stunningly selfish solution. Granted, you don't mention ' any ways that you apply your imspare quality of life toward proving hers chores, ing, social planning, to cite a few examples. If you don't do this, then do this. "I support anything she would choose to do" isn't a promise kept only in few possible futures, it's one to make good on daily. If you already do pamper 'her; though, and a thoughtful, spouse isn't happy, well-pai- d enough to make her happy, len it s time for you both to start asking wnaT is.
