My wife and I work in the same area in running the business, the work can support and ask each other. Before, we knew each other because we were members of the same club at the University. But back then, the two didn’t talk much. It wasn’t until after graduating that the job was a bit related that I asked about it. And gradually, we became husband and wife, got married, and now we have a lovely, chubby 3-year-old baby boy.

My child is taken care of by his grandparents, he is also easy to take care of. There are many people who say why I am a mother but pay little attention to my children, I will answer that I still love my children, and I am still balanced with my career. Too many “falls” in life, happening to people around me, have taught me that women also need a career. Besides, I have professional qualifications, experience and resourcefulness, wisdom, I think I will do well in the assigned task.

When my husband and I worked at two different companies, my salary was slightly higher than his. Because my company is a multinational corporation, good remuneration and benefits, even the boss pays a lot of attention to employees. My wife and I are civilized, modern thinking, not too concerned about this issue. It doesn’t matter who makes more, it’s important that husband and wife build a happy home together.

My married life and work would be normal and smooth without the intervention of my father-in-law. My mother-in-law has long since passed away, only my father-in-law remains, but he is very often involved too deeply in my husband and I. In particular, in my heart I understand one thing, my father-in-law does not easily accept that I earn more money than my husband. For his father-in-law, his only son must be the most talented person in the family.

When we were young, my father-in-law often inquired about my salary. My husband is honest, he told his father everything. After so many years, my father-in-law kept saying over and over that my husband must make more money than his wife. In addition, my job is not even as hard as my husband’s. I rarely have to bring work home, while my husband sometimes stays up until 12 at night.

All of the above factors made my father-in-law forced my husband into one idea: To earn as much money as possible. Meanwhile, the destination of my husband and I is a happy life. Unfortunately, my father-in-law is very well-spoken, and my husband is extremely obedient to him.

About half a year ago, during a visit to my house, my father-in-law talked to my husband while I was holding the baby in my room. I heard clearly, the father-in-law told his son to apply for a job at his wife’s company to advance his career. He even said try to change the working environment, maybe the salary is higher.

And indeed, my husband did not dare to argue. He quickly applied to the company his wife worked for, just when a position was still lacking. So my husband and I became colleagues. Although I am very shy with everyone in the company, I still have to try to complete the assigned tasks well. Fortunately, my company, especially my boss, has no problem with this.

It’s not over yet. Finally, after 6 months, I was promoted to the position of manager again. As the company scaled up. So, my husband is my wife’s subordinate. When he announced this to his father-in-law, he immediately expressed his displeasure and continued to meditate. My husband’s salary is already higher than the salary at the old company, but his father-in-law is not satisfied. What he wanted was for my husband to be one step above his wife.

I don’t know how to behave properly. My husband and I at the company, like a boss – an employee, face a lot of pressure. When we got home, we were often met with the fierce gaze of our father-in-law. Is it possible that what should be done now is that I should step back, focus on my children and build a home? Actually, sometimes I think I’m very tired…
