Dear Doctor,
My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to 36 home and raise our three children．Then four years ago, our youngest 37 went to school and I thought I might go back to 38 ．
My husband was very 39 and helped me to make my decision．He pointed out all of the things I can do around the 40 , and said he thought I could be a great 41 in business．
After several weeks of job-hunting, I found my 42 job, which is working for a small public relations firm．At first, my husband was very 43 of me and would tell his friends, "My clever little wife can 44 that company she's working for．"
But as his joking words were close to 45 , my husband stopped talking to me about my job．I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now 46 more money than he is．I can buy my 47 clothes and a new car．Because of our joint incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always 48 of doing, but we don't do these things because he is very 49 ．
We 50 about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends．For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to a（an） 51 ．
I love my husband very much, and I do not want him to 52 lower, but I also love my job．I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know 53 ．Can you give me some 54 ? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my 55 and my new career?
Please help．
