OP told no lies
My wife is ambitious and is well aware that these are different times that we live in. However, she also hates her primary job and constantly stresses that she wishes that she could at leave it to focus on other endeavors or at least take a break for once as she has been working since she was 14.
I don't take it personal as that's how her family dynamic was, and plus i know if she had some breathing room she'd focus on getting a business (or two) of her own off the ground. I got a job interview this week that might just give her this chance though, fortunately.
