OH Hell to the NO!!

Original post by SoonToBeMrsCampos

FH just informed me that he will be given an international blackberry to take on our HM.

I told him OH HEELLLLLL NO! And that his company better get insurance on this phone, b/c I have a feeling that it may get lost. hahaha

Seriously though..
I already deal with him being a work-a-holic on a daily basis working 9-8 M-F along with a 2nd job on weekends. Do I really need to put up with him 'working' on our HM? AHHHHH!!

Thoughts ladies?

He must be intitiled to vacation time, right? I can't imagine a job actually doing that. I would throw it in the ocean as soon as we got there!

I would say definitely not. I am always on the phone with work if I'm out, but on my honeymoon, I am sooooooooo not calling in.

He's a controller for a mortgage company. (does accounting stuff and works with the CFO.) not for nothing, but what 'emergencies' can arise???? esp something that no one else there can handle?

(don't take me the wrong way, i'm not being mean and saying that what he does isn't important. i just really don't know the mortgage/finance industry lol)

he's just a perfectionist when it comes to work. and is a workaholic and can't say no to his boss. He doesn't understand that his bosses know he has a life outside of work. and that they do to!! we all do! we dont live to work, we work to live!!!!! then he always gives me 'u dont understand. you're industry is much different and more stable'

blah blah blah



As a Senior Accountant who works directly for the Controller, I can understand the 'emergency' side of things. Not going to lie, on our HM we both checked our work emails and called in every three days or so. I left during year-end, which is the worst possible time of year to leave in the finance world. And DH was in the middle of releasing a new product. I guess we are workaholics too....but I totally understand where you are coming from and if he does bring it, it shouldn't get in the way



Agreed - he might be in the middle of 3rd Quarter reporting and have to answer questions and stuff. Maybe you can compromise and tell him to just do it once a day??

My boss told me that he was going to give me a laptop to bring on my my honeymoon. He changed his mind when I asked him if it would float because I was fairly certain DH would throw it into the Pacific Ocean.

I would tell him to set aside an hour a day whether it be in the morning or at night and handle his business and then the rest of the time is off limits.

His company should respect his way time ESPECIALLY ON HIS HONEYMOON. I must say my company has been very good with me running around to get stuff done and I was just told this morning to do what i gotta do weather it be come in late or leaving early.
