Career or Children -- Decide!
I admit, I gave into the propaganda that I could have it all: I could have my two point five children, an exciting career, a steamy night life and even sleep every once in a while. You know: I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan;" I am woman, hear me roar," etc. |

For Better, For Worse, For Richer, For Poorer
What are they looking for in a partner? The conversation with one of my friends reveals the truth.
Last week Ive got a phone call from a friend of mine, Catherine (the name has been changed), my long time girlfriend I havent seen for a year. Weve met the next day, and soon as we got over the excitement of seeing each other, she guided me to a small and cozy restaurant in the beautiful downtown. After a short newsflash on our current lives, we continued chatting about usual stuff people talk after not seeing each other for a long period of time.
Suddenly, somewhere in between my first sip of latte and a bite of desert, Ive heard something I was completely unprepared for: Im so tired of dating, Alyona. I want to get married.
Let me give you a short overview of what kind of person my dear friend Catherine is.
She is a successful lawyer and co-founder of a well-established logistic company, which is quite an achievement taking into consideration that she is only approaching her 34th birthday this year. She is cute, fit, groomed, perpetually tan, stylish, likes to travel and a good company as well, learning Italian and taking guitar classes. The only problem is, as Catherine followed her astonishing confession, she can not find the right man. She has dates, she has friends, and she meets a lot of people through her job. But, as Catherine explained: It seems like all the good men are married! And I almost have no single friends. I have some divorced friends, though. But they are either tired of the whole marriage idea, or looking for a reliable partner themselves.
I couldnt believe my ears. My friend is the very icon of todays successful businesswoman who has it all. But, as she claims, more and more women find themselves in Catherines position: busy with their careers, one day they find their thoughts far away from the next investors meeting agenda. And if the regularly maintained pension plans and savings give us assurance in our financial future, where is no way to make sure, if that future will be warmed with much desirable family bonds. |
