I've seen that, too, but it is uncommon because usually the spouse of the employer, if he/she is able to keep their marriage intact, wants their share of the good life. After all, they've earned it even if they don't work because they are married to a winner and not a loser.

It is a good (although sad observation) that it is often the spouse (I will not specify the gender) who is greedy and unconsiderate. There are also politicians who by themselves are quite nice, but their spouse has great ambitions and lust for power.

I hear you. My only comment as to greedy and inconsiderate is that I doubt they do their shopping at Wal Mart, although I think a few probably do. I doubt any politician's spouse shops at Wal Mart.

As to the great ambitions and lust for power, I can think of one like that whose name starts with H, but I haven't thought the spousal ambition part through and don't know any politicians up close lately, only what I hear on the news. I never quite figured out the spouse of the politician whose name started with T and had something to do with that stuff you put on your hot dogs and hamburgers. I really kind of concluded that he was the one with the ambition, she was the one with the assets and was along for the ride for reasons I'm not sure about.
