I don't think you have anything to lose by going for it. I'm sure your OH wants you to get it on your own merit but would be very surprised if he doesn't just mention something in passing. I work with my OH but we have a completely different situation. He is a surgeon and I work, from home, doing all the office work for his private practice from home. He sees patients at the private hospital so although we work together, we don't - if you get my drift. Certainly works for us. I'm not medical and the job is part-time. I work hours to suit myself and it is just me here, so guess I have the best of both worlds. Keeps my brain cell ticking over!
