Katka (40): Working with her husband in his company almost destroyed the relationship<

Husband collapsed

After maternity leave, I returned to my original profession as an economist in a bank and, due to my husband's workload, I took care of running the household and the children more or less alone. After some time, a crisis naturally came, Filip was so busy that he had almost no time for his family, he became irritable, there were even some health problems and he had to go to the hospital for a while. The situation had to be dealt with immediately.

Because I felt the need to help both Filip and the family business, as well as our marriage and family, I resigned from the bank and started working for my husband as an economic director. All the problems and worries accumulated during the last time, when Filip did not have the capacity to solve them, automatically fell on me. And in the end, he actually couldn't, when his health couldn't hold him due to the stress.

ŽANETA (42): Flirting with my son's teacher put blood in my veins. I feel sexy

Žaneta never thought about flirting or having a relationship with another man. With husband…

I joined the family business

Basically, I did everything for a few months, from accounting to securing new orders to supervising construction sites. After returning from the hospital and convalescing, Filip initially thought highly of my commitment and we were suddenly one body, one hand again. Breakfast together in the morning, going to work, working lunches, solving both family and work problems together. Perfect condition, that's what I wanted, that was my original idea.

We were together twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and never had a chance to be bored. On the other hand, a kind of tension, passion, excitement and surprise that the other person brings home from another environment has completely ended. Suddenly there was nothing but work and worry, nothing to look forward to.

My husband started to get on my nerves

I started to realize that Filip was slowly getting on my nerves. I was bothered by the way he behaves in meetings, the way he holds the cutlery at lunch, the way he flirts with female colleagues and other things, even the way he dresses. Regardless of the fact that I was still "just" his subordinate and he was the big boss with always higher powers. I stopped working with my husband.

My word meant almost nothing, and increasingly frequent disagreements also affected other employees of the company. And that certainly did not benefit the good atmosphere at the workplace or the mood in the team. Filip got so used to his position as the great Mr. Director that even at home he had a tendency to constantly direct me and organize my time, hobbies and household.

I couldn't work with him

The previously functioning marriage was falling into a kind of abyss, and I thought to myself that if a miracle didn't happen, the fall to the bottom would be a disaster. Since I have always been more of a realist, I decided to act quickly then, basically with the same scenario as when I started working with my husband and joined Filip's company, I decided to leave just as quickly and separate my work life from my private life early on. For me it was essential and very important.

But Filip could not understand the whole situation, from his point of view everything worked, it was so convenient and very efficient. Yes, at the expense of my satisfaction and our previously functioning marriage. He didn't want to let me leave and every night he persuaded me to stay in the family business, that we would just set new rules, but I firmly stood by my decision.

VÚRA (62): The daughter manipulated the grandchildren against us. Now we don't see them

The contented life of grandma and grandpa from four grandchildren day by day...

I just felt the need at that time to take a step in a different direction and change our lives. Yes, even Philip's. So my husband and I stopped working and started sharing family matters more than work. Of course, I also discussed with him what he was dealing with at work, but as a wife and not as his subordinate.

Today our life is back on track. The husband is the husband, not the boss, and the home is a home and not a detached workplace where some work problems are constantly being solved. And after all, I have more time for my children, myself and my hobbies. In retrospect, I realize how important a step I took back then. We look forward to seeing each other again every evening, to talk, to spend precious time together and to simply be together... as family and husband and wife.

Proof of our rediscovered contentment is also my next pregnancy, which we both enjoy very much and we are very much looking forward to the third child. Somehow we value family life more. The experience of working with my husband was essential for me, but I wouldn't change it.
