My personal example, I was in grad school when I got married. My husband knew the deal. He moved to where my school was and after my school was done, we moved back to where his work was. He's been my biggest supporter when I've wanted to concentrate on school full time and when I wanted to take a break from work. It's really about finding that supportive spouse and family. I know many aren't as lucky.
Absolutely! Same with me.. I did my Masters after I got married. I was working and studying and my husband always supported me and made sure there was food to eat I know many friends whose husbands have moved to different cities so they could study and work where they want to. I’ve quit my job twice to take care of my kid out of own volition. Best time of my life! He never questioned when I’d join work back and always did/does his share of household work even when I was a “homemaker”. We still have our debates and discussions on several topics including race, gender, inherent biases.. .. both of need to grow a lot more.. but hey we are trying ! 😄More than the family, it’s the extended family and society in general that I have problem with. Certain phrases like “helpful” husband (but when a working wife does it’s not? 😝🤪) don’t help at all.
