[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a woman who married a doctor (well he was a med student when they met but he became a doctor). He is a surgeon and makes great money. The thing is that the drive he has as a perfectionist at work is a personality trait and he is also driven to be the best at the sport he does too. They have four kids but he is barely home. Between work and training, basically the kids and family just follow him around to sports events to spend time with him. Yes, this is what she signed up for. He is exactly the same as he was when they met - he has always been an athlete and very focused and determined. And yes, she loves the luxuries of life and the beautiful home and the sunny vacations but even with the shiny things, her life is kind of mundane and boring. I know she regrets stepping completely out of her professional life - lunching at the tennis clubs gets old too. But it was what she wanted and she went after it and has it. She doesn't really complain because it is the life she chose but it isn't all that amazing of a life outside of Instagram.[/quote]

So why doesn’t she get a job? What’s stopping her?[/quote]

She was a paramedic when they met. Not something she can just step back into. And she last worked more than 15 years ago. I highly doubt she actually wants to go back to work, she has just realized that a man being the plan isn't as great as it seemed when she was young.[/quote]
