These past few days, I realized that I essentially have no idea what my husband actually does for a living. I know he’s a businessman and involved in different industries; that’s about it. I guess I was never curious, as long as he brings money home + he doesn’t talk about work when he’s not working. I just don’t really have any interest in business.
I cannot answer if it is weird or not because I never valued others’ opinion of my relationships. That said, I would actually find it hurtful if my wife had no interest in my work. My work life consumes a large percentage of my waking moments and it is important to me. If I knew that the depth of her care for such a big part of me is whether or not my paycheck clears, I would feel very hurt. Plus, I would never feel like she’s fully part of my life if I am not able to share such a massive part of it with her. That’s just me, so please do not think that I am anywhere near average on the matter.
