Not that you asked for advice, but mine is to focus not on getting him to separate from X, which is his problem, but on how you deal with having a husband who isn't separated from X (the old saw: you can't change someone else, only yourself). I can't remember. Sometimes it takes years, and you can't fake it.

Lots of job and career changes. One could say that your endless pursuit of career flexibility has paradoxically had the opposite effect in your life. I have some pretty crazy arguments for mine, also.) You're not a big aquirer of Stuff, which is good. Multiple moves to different parts of the country. Love that one!)

I do it for mine, too. Subscribe -- free! In fact, today at lunch a colleague mentioned the NY Magazine article on parenting and we both said how much we both loved that article and then ended up spending the rest of the hour talking about it. :) Thanks for all time you spend adding links to your blog. I know how time consuming it is.

P.S. One of my mentors used to say "anything worth doing is worth doing 'badly'!" But don't turn off all criticism: Mine your critics for people who can help you understand what it is that you do well. People constantly undervalue the return on investment you get from taking risks to invest in your own career.
