Which just goes to show. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

Eeep Mr S and I have both nearly had the teeshirt a few times ourselves. We have both had jobs which expect long hours sometimes, it is ok for a short time but not as a longterm plan. It is hard to get the balance right sometimes.

  I reckon when //both// are doing that there can be understanding, and that's what keeps people together ... understanding each other's 'plight' (wrong word but I can't think of a better one)

    Yeah sort of.
    
    But the guy I was going out with before Mr S used to work evenings and I used to work days and 2 nights a week we never saw each other in the end we drifted apart.
    
    The thing is not to let work take over. It is ok to do overtime to get a bit extra to get a new carpet or go on a lovely holiday but if it starts to becomes the norm and there is no time to play and have fun together ............

      Ah yes. That makes sense. Me and my ex used to do the thing where one looks after Mini and one goes to work, then switch round. Not easy at all. x

Did he become a workaholic because it was expected, or because he //thought// that he was expected to?!

I have workaholic tendancies, and mostly it's for short bursts of time when I need to get a huge pile of stuff done, the danger happens when I become a workaholic to avoid stuff I shouldn't.

  The idea of it at all just baffles me. Seriously. I'm missing that bit in my human psyche

    What baffles me is the way I can be totally over the top about working, then I can go for days and not do anything!! Maybe I'm just obsessive about whatever it is I'm doing at the time, be it work, or whatever!

I wish I could start being a workaholic...well no, perhaps I don't really. Perhaps once a week would be good!

  Exactly! *glaring at housework*
  
  It's easy done though, for some, who want lots of 'stuff'.
  
  oooh, then again ... there's those that have cruddy-paid jobs that //have// to work every bleedin hour (damn, forgot about them!)

Hubby and I have reached a balance of sorts as we believe that relationships are never 50/50 but as long as the combined effort reaches 100% then the relationship will blossom. I think the key is to put the relationship first and individual needs second which is difficult to do.

btw, I 'got' what you meant about the blog diet on your music blog when I was shopping in Walmart early today.

I was thinking about a food diet *natch* hehehehehehe...I can be so daft at times...always thinking about food.

Hugs

LOL! This sums up the entire essence of my blog, the 200-odd posts, the 800-odd comments, 65,000 words and three months of my writing. I might as well not have bothered. xxLuxx
