My husbie doesn't want me to work abroad again.. He knows how I work when we met.. And he is quite afraid that I would sink myself into work out of sadness being far away from each other.. He always reminds me that when we are already together again "I could not and must not take office work with me at home"....

Besides there are time conflicts now that he is working on a night shift.. It means that we would seldom talk (time and sched difference).. We both have this "broken marriage" of parents syndrome so we would like to keep and take good care of what we have now.. i know it may sound pathetic but that's the case...

It is about time and sched conflicts..and YES.. it is a male and very demanding CEO.. I have experienced working from 8am till 3am the following day.. slept at 3am (need to review DGR shipment documents and applications) then woke up at 5am just to attend to something before 7am till 10pm(extented office hours)...

I used to work for Magazine as Press and Media Marketing. my job was to interview some CEO's, Celebrities and Models for our magazine.

I work until the day I have to move. But the work style fit my lifestyle back then - I worked long hours, good money, lots of international travel, personal time was only the weekend. Kept me busy.

Now, I am looking for jobs that allow me to have personal life too during weekdays

So you're sat there, half the world away from each other, but you're not allowed to work? Can you really call yourself a B.I.T.C.H.?

I have to agree, you cant really call yourself a B.I.T.C.H when you let your husband/fiance tell you if you are not allowed to work, even though your not together yet.

i met my fiance when his nephews got sick when they came to the PI for a vacation last year. what's more amazing is that they used to live like 3 houses from my grandfather's house..talk about fate! destiny!

As I said.. the situation now is TEMPORARY.. I may not work "as in work" as of the moment but I am doing valuable things myself..

I am into tutorials of kids for the meantime but it is not really "work" for me. Besides being a B.I.T.C.H also stands for making own decisions.

It is my decision to agree with my husband's request (he could not force me if i do not want to follow but that would harm our relationship).

I do STAND by that decision and I do not REGRET choosing my husbie than my career this time..

Oh sorry, I think I'm getting confused. I read where you said not working was hard because you usually are quite busy, I read where you said that you would usually work through your sadness by keeping yourself thrown into work, and all the 'my husband knows this and is afraid of that and reminds me of this' so I assumed you wouldn't have chosen to give up your job if he didn't request you to do so.

But it's not really temporary though, is it? You won't work til after you're here...so your career in your home country as you knew it is over?

I know I've gotten personal here, but since you brought it all up, I had to comment. It pains me a great deal to see vibrant people have to choose between two things they love, which could easily coexist in some manner together.

I hope your relationship works out to be everything you want it to be .
