A reader whose husband had a bad experience working for her company considers taking early retirement so she doesn’t have to deal with the people who wronged him.

Four years ago, my husband joined the small company I’ve worked at for decades. He had issues with his supervisor, brought tension home, and ultimately left. I am still here, working daily with the people who screwed him over and the jerk who basically pushed him out and took his job. I don’t think my husband was blameless, but I do think he was set up for failure in many ways.Since he left, I’ve made a great effort to separate my work world from my home life .

What all those circumstances have in common is that they’re not about your husband. They’re about fighting for a larger principle, or deciding how you will spend your valuable time and effort. It’s also not clear from your letter how long your husband was with the company and how long ago his departure happened. If it’s fairly recent, you’re probably still feeling raw about it, and that’s not the best time to make a big decision.Overall, I’m not sure torpedoing your job in solidarity is the best thing for you or your marriage.
