Most people treat their jobs like wives and their wives like girlfriends.
Why are we so concerned about quitting a job when it sucks the life out of us? Why do we attach so much of our identity to our jobs? Why do we selflessly pour ourselves into jobs with extra hours, the best of our efforts and try to never show up looking like a bum?
Why don't we get concerned when our relationship with our spouse is having the life sucked out of it? Why don't we attach more of our identity to becoming "one" with our wife? Why do we peel off the suite, put on the sweatpants and bum around our homes?
Maybe it's perfectly backwards. Maybe your life will be fine if you leave your job and be ruined if you leave your wife. Maybe.
Sleep around with jobs, break up with them and go for a hotter one. When you get bored leave. Try not to get abused by it or abuse it, but certainly use it. Get a little selfish and get what you need out of it. Maybe.
