O.k here goes:
My husband has a degree in anthropology and political scienc: He has however been working with marketing and branding since he was in college. He now owns his own marketing company and has mostly been involved in "territorial branding".
I on the other hand have a BSc in International Business and am finishing my master thesis in Management. I have always thought it would be best for us not to focus on the exact same things education/work-wise, although we are interested in the same genre.
Although I´m interested in marketing and branding, I chose to focus on "CSR" (Corporate Social Responsibility). It is something I am very interested in and keep saying I would love to work with. I have always thought it was important for us to keep out of each others "path". Considering that we live in a country with only 300 000 inhabitants and a limited amount of companies.
In connection with my thesis I have been in contact with one company. I chose this company because it was a place I thought might be interesting to pursue a career at, after my studies. My husband new this very well.
My husband writes articles for an icelandic business journal and decided last week to write about Corporate Social Responsibility. I don´t have a problem with that at all. After all, it´s just an article.
I do have a problem with the following though. He just told me that he had scheduled a meeting with the particular company I have been in contact with, hoping to sell them his service (the company is in the middle of a CSR campaign).
I feel that he could have left the one company I have been in contact with alone. What do you think?

I think you have a right to be upset about this.
(Sidenote...I keep thinking of the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith for some reason.
