My wife's life has become a series of crises. It's exhausting to watch (and pick up the fallout).

An update for anyone who cares. Today my boss resigned, the company agreed to hold him to his non-compete agreement so he will get paid for the next 6 months. It is a good compromise for everyone. My office no longer has to be concerned about facing any repercussions for telling the truth about what is going on and management that has supported him for years avoids being exposed for letting this **** go on for so long.
I spent the entire day meeting with people in private to fill them in on what is going on and what to be prepared for. Every single person that works in the office either called or scheduled time with me today, I got nothing else done besides 2 interviews that I went on. Now, we all have to be prepared in a week to meet with my bosses boss (who is flying in from Europe with the Head of HR from headquarters) and explain what our job description is and what we do every day, basically defend why we are needed here. I believe I have support from everyone, that I have been the voice of reason for a long time. Now, I need to figure out how to articulate that my main role over the last few months has been trying to keep my boss from spinning out of control, not that I was always successful. Basically, every decision that is in question is something I challenged my boss on at some point and I would have done the exact opposite of his decision
The one realization I came to today is regarding being challenged on my expense report. Our company rules state that the most senior person at the meal should pay the bill and submit the expense. My boss often made me pay when he was there and submit an expense report without him on it so he could approve it. Technically a violation of the rules, but these were always legit business meetings. Well my bosses boss was a part of this on more than one occasion. I was asked to pay the bill when he was present and his boss (a board member) was present more than once, so if he gives me any difficulty regarding this he will be implicated in this just as fast. A small comfort but I feel less guilty now about this.
At this point I am unsure how this will turn out for me. I just have to be prepared with the facts and hope for the best. This has honestly been one of the most ridiculous weeks of work I have ever experienced. The only upside is; I have been so stressed I can't eat so maybe I can drop a few pounds I picked up over the winter.

dang top I hope that everything works out for you, you have gone the honest route so you deserve it!

Well, for exposition, none of them are real crises. They just feel like it, largely because of how she manages them and adds new stuff to her already hugely packed agenda. Tonight it's "We spent all day in DC and I have to read a book for a book club I signed up for and my parents are coming for brunch so I have to pick up all the stuff I left all over the house all week and I have a meeting to prepare for work Monday morning which I didn't do during the week because etc etc." And it's like this all...the...time.
