Weird problem (an ounce of luck, a pound of despair)

Ok so I was issued an eea2 rc last November, an te missus and I were over the moon. Went back home with her came back, no problems. So far, so good.
Now my ambitions have lead me to change my career from business development to recruitment, and I have landed a job with one of the aces in the said field, but the job requires me to go to the eu once every 2 months for about 3 days on client calls and eveluations.
Now the problem is, the wife isn't working but is only an intern.
Although we do have csi, and BOTh of us are covered, I'm not sure how to prove self sufficiency, specially after reading many cases of detentions at London airports.
Also taking into account that if I get detained I'm about certainly getting fired, I would like to know for sure if what we have is enough to prove self sufficiency?
Also I would like to enquire if there is any way to ensure that my eu travels alone are safer?
I do understand that my enquiery may sound rudimentary to some, but it is something tht bothers me deeply anyway.

My eu visa would be tourist in nature, which I have no problems applying over and over again.
However it is the coming back to the uk part that I'm bothered about. When I entered the uk last time around, there were no problems, but some officers are more unforgiving than others, and I'm sure you will appreciate that if I have to else my job an family here an live somewhere that is now an alien land to me, the consequences will be disastrous.

Should mention that the wife is Lithuanian, has completed her studies ladt year and we have been married for about 3 years now. I actually would also like to find out that if we started the csi 2 years ago I.e. My wife qualified 2 years ago but I got my eea2 only November last year, does it mean I have to wait till my current ex expires before I can apply for a pr or would i be able to apply in 3 years time?

What I understand that you are asking two questions,
Firstly how to prove self sufficient and secondly is there any problems returning back to uk.
Firstly as if you have CSI then take your bank statements and paydlips with you along CSI to prove your wife's treaty rights,and if you are in genuine relationship then no body can stop or detaine you on a way back unless you are wanted criminal.
