I agree that an I/T job didn't directly cause your divorce, but it probably contributed indirectly. Any profession with high stress and long hours away from the family help fuel discord. I had a high tech job that kept me flying all over the world. After ten years of that, I went through a divorce. But I then and there made the decision that my children were more important than that particular job. So I left that job, and got another one with no travel, and ultimately won custody of my kids. I'm a lot poorer in financial terms, but very wealthy with my family. I put God first, my new wife second, my kids third, my job fourth, and then me. Because I put myself last I have found other people put me first which propels me farther than if I was thinking only of me. Good luck and best wishes on your future.
