I took time out for our kids. Now I envy HIS career

TV’s sTeph and Dom parker, 51 and 54, draw on their 20 years of marriage to solve your relationship problems . . .

QI MET my husband at work nine years ago and we now have two young daughters.

When we met, we were at a similar level in the company. But I am more ambitious. In fact, I had just been promoted when I found out I was pregnant.

I took two maternity leaves of a year each, returning to work part-time between them, over

five years. I’ve now come back to the same job I had when I left, while my husband has been promoted twice and is doing really well.

It makes financial sense that I do the school run, but I just feel so stagnant. I’m not where I thought I’d be at 44!

I know this sounds bad, but I feel envious of him. It’s like our roles have been reversed. I don’t know how to talk about it with him without sounding horribly jealous and resentful (which I am!). What can I do?
