8.To Whom It May Concern,My husband Jim and I got married in 1965.For the first ten years of our marriage,I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children.Then about four years ago,our youngest child went to school,and I thought I might go back to work.
Jim was very supportive and helped me to make my decision.He started to do all the things I used to do around the house,and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job hunting,I found my present job,which is working for a small public relation firm.At first,my husband was proud of me and would tell his friends,"My clever little wife can run that company she's working for."
But,as his joking words were becoming reality,Jim stopped talking to me about my job.I have received several promotions and pay increases,and I am now making more money than he is.I can buy my own clothes and a new car.Because of our combined incomes,Jim can do things that we had always dreamed of doing,but we don't do these things because he is unhappy.
We fought about little things,and Jim 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 an end.
I love Jim very much,and I don't want him to feel inferior(较差的),but I also love my job.I think I can be a good wife and a working woman,but I don't know how.Can you give me some advice?Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help.
Yours,
Mary
