When couples disagree on career specialization vs staying generalist

My partner and I are both trying to build careers but we keep clashing over strategy — she thinks I should specialize deeply in one area to become irreplaceable, while I believe staying broad and adaptable is safer in this economy, and now we're second-guessing each other constantly instead of supporting each other's choices.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are projecting their own professional anxieties onto each other's career paths rather than examining their underlying fears about security and growth.
