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 used to write at Yahoo finance and I learned so much from that gig. About headlines (study their home page ), and finance advertising ( I got fired for that ), and writing for audiences who don’t know me (so many people telling me I'm an idiot that Yahoo removed the comments ). I do it for mine, too.

My financial history, and stop whining about your job, March 2007 My personal finances have been sort of a wreck since about 2001. P.S. One of my mentors used to say "anything worth doing is worth doing 'badly'!" This is not really a post as much as a start of a post. But I like the last line.

Ryan Healy has a degree in finance and an ability to run numbers in his head that looks like magic to me. if you have aspergers that is similar to mine, you probably can focus on one thing for an extended period of time without being easily distracted. using this i almost never EVER get complaints like "exCUSE me!

But then, when I told one of my mentors that I’m not good at sales, he said, “Of course you’re good at sales. Then technology hit home more, which allowed people in finance & operations to rise to the top. I don’t even know the expression. You’ve gotten three companies funded.” He’s right. But good God I hated it. Big difference!!
