Luckily, my husband is my business partner as well as my life partner, so I never had to do the heavy lifting alone, literally or figuratively.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I could never have gotten back into my career without the undying support of my husband, who works full time at a stressful job! We decided that we were going to do this as total partners and it is a 50/50 deal with us.
I don't believe I could work as effectively at what I do without the support of my wife.
Being a strong woman is very important to me. But doing it all on my own is not.
I got to show off in front of my husband, who married me as I was stepping out of the business, so he had no idea that I could strut my stuff on the stage.
It's always been really important for me to try to maintain a balanced life, professional and personal, and this was absolutely something that my husband and I had hoped for.
My husband gave up all his work to stay at home with the kids, and we split all the duties at home. I do all the boring stuff - like pay the bills, and he does all the exercising for both of us, which I'm very grateful for... I thank him for it regularly.
There were so many occasions when I wasn't around for my kids or my husband. But we learnt to work around it.
My wife and I have always trusted each other, and I have to thank her strength.
I'm a freelance writer, and I work alone at a big desk in the living room of my apartment. There are many days when I don't utter a single word to anyone but my husband.
I suppose, unconsciously, I used all my wives to further my journey up the ladder.
