Juggling marriage and a career
Marriage takes intense work and commitment and if little attention is given to building it, it opens the door to problems. For some women, building a career is also important as it also takes money to finance a home. How difficult is it to balance them both?Rachael:DJ:Mark: Neis:
My ex-husband handed me divorce papers because he said he felt single in our relationship. He said I was always working. When he served me, I signed the papers with no remorse. He was asking me to give up my career and be a stay-at-home mother, and I was not about to do that.
I am on the verge of walking out on my wife. She has been avoiding intimacy by using work and school as an excuse. I am just about tired of it. I am a faithful man but this is really pushing me to go out and cheat. She has two degrees already and she is telling me she is going for a third. I am at the breaking point.
My wife does it all and I am proud of her. She is a doctor and mother of two and she is home on time unless there is an emergency. When she is home, she takes extremely good care of the kids and I am not short of anything. So I stand as a testimony that it can be balanced and successful once both persons are willing to do their part.
I am career-oriented and I recently got married. I try not to let work come into my marriage. I simply leave work at work and I do discipline myself so I leave work on time. It is all about discipline and understanding that your marriage is priority.
