Stuffing

Honest and Deep

I read Barbara's new blog today (no link- you can ask her if you want the link) and I found it honest and deep. That's what I hope this blog is- i try not to sugar coat and censor myself here. I do on my main blog because I know my mom reads it and I don't want her worrying about me, for the most part.

Speaking of my mother, she told me about an a girl who I went to school with (my mom knows her mom) and her marriage troubles. She and her husband lived in California working in the computer industry. But she went to Canada for a wedding and then couldn't get back in the States (something wrong with the paperwork) so they moved to Toronto. She got a job in TO and he kept his job in Cali (as it was all computer after all) but he found he was having to stay up to late as he still had to work on Cali time so he quit. That was 2.5 years ago and he hasn't got a job since. So K. is working a full time job, having to do all the housework (he doesn't do any), and is getting frustrated. Also she wants kids and he doesn't. Though she realizes that she would be doing all of the raising of the child. Life doesn't always work out like you plan.
My friend D. had a similar story. She married a guy she met in Columbia (teaching) and moved to St. Louis (what is it with all the females moving to the States for men?) They both were working full time. She was also working on her masters and doing all the housework. And it overwhelmed her and she got a divorce. She moved back to TO and she married a wonderful guy who suits her very well. They now have 2 kids. (and I presume he does housework!)
What are the limits of love? Was she in love with the first guy? So many questions!
