Dear Queenie,
I own a small business and after my office assistant got married and quit my wife decided to take over that job. The problem is that she comes to work late and leaves early, so our office hours are not dependable for clients, and when she is there she doesn’t do the work very well.
I could afford to hire someone else to do the job, but my wife says if she can’t work in the business she will file for divorce.
Queenie, I love my wife and a divorce is the last thing I want. How can I get her to quit the job and stay married?—Worried husband
Dear Husband,
Hire an “assistant” for your wife who will see to it that the work gets done correctly and on time, and find other duties for your wife to fulfil in the office that will not disrupt business if they are not carried out well and on time.
And if you can find something outside of the business that will keep your wife occupied, so much the better.
