So ladies

How would you react if you found out after marriage that your husband intends to carry on working 100 hours a week including weekends?

Re: So ladies

Haha I’ve thought about this also as a future interventional cardiologist..no girl will put up with it lol, would likely leave or cheat

Re: So ladies

I’d fall into depression or go crazy honestly!

Our time for each other is the most valuable asset in our relationship. I wouldn’t want money coming in the house that is somehow contributing in destroying it!

However filmy that sounds I’m very particular about this.

Re: So ladies

@pak2015. As future cardiologist, no girl will really wanna marry you for your personality or your looks. Use it to your advantage in future.

You cant buy love…but who needs love when all you really just need is a rotation. Lol but keep it halaal plz

Re: So ladies

Hahah yeah that’s the type of girls I want to avoid…marrying just for status or money..those are the ladies that end up cheating or bouncing with half the assets…but yes plenty of fish in the sea. Just need to the find the right type of girl which is becoming more and more difficult these days. Guys, never settle, make sure get a girl with decent and strong character! Girls are real flaky these days.

Re: So ladies

Flaky??? Bro take my sister..she also caramely

Re: So ladies

The husband will have to slow down at some point. I’ve seen it happen with every guy in my family, especially after they’ve had kids. My brother being the prime example, he worked 100+ hours for 4 years straight, after he got married he started working less because his priorities changed. And now that he has his son, he finds every opportunity he can to spend time with him. Not because he was asked to, but because he wants to.

Re: So ladies

Meh. I’ve always kind of expected that would happen. As someone in the healthcare field, i have always figured i’ll end up marrying someone from the same field as well (not that i mind other people, it’s just a simple presumption) and with this field comes the obvious understanding that everyone works ALL the time. It’s been like that in my family where all of us work in the healthcare field and work around the clock but we’ve still learnt to adapt and make it work. It takes some serious effort to keep everyone happy and keep the system running but it does happen and it works.

I don’t think i’d react any way, although i DO hope that during the initial stage of marriage we would both be able to take some time off to really get to know one another and be able to prioritize some house hold things. After that, i too plan on getting back to work, if not as much as him but still work (i love the 9-5 grind). So yea, their 100 hrs threat don’t scare me. :slight_smile:

Re: So ladies

No, I made sure to ask any potential candidates before marriage what kind of hours they worked. No workaholics, please!

Re: So ladies

While 100 hours a week sounds too much, I dont think Il mind. I have always wondered what happens after the first few days of marriage? Where do the sparks go? So wouldnt it be a good idea to spend little time together to keeps the sparks alive?

Re: So ladies

not necessarily that girls will either leave or cheat. There are many women whose husbands work in airline industry, in healthcare, in armed forces and marine.

Re: So ladies

lol you will stay away from home, 100+ hours a week, and she will cheat?

Re: So ladies

^girls don’t have affairs?? A friend of mine just got divorced because he found out that his wife was chatting withba male friend and would sneak out to meet up with him while her husband was at work without telling him..and this girl was conservative too..don’t know if anything happened but that was enough for him to want a divorce..she denied anything happened but her excuse was that she felt neglected and just wanted someone to talk to and be close with..such BS..it’s way too easy these days with technology to even have emotional affairs online or sexting or whatever while partner isn’t around..so yes it does happen..that’s why I said need to find a decent girl with a strong character who wouldn’t do stupid stuff like this

Re: So ladies

^ as a girl myself i can assure u that if a girl who wants to cheat & is looking for something outside of her marriage she will manage to do it even if ur working decent hours or she doesn’t have any contact with men in front of u.

Guys need to focus on finding a NICE girl and love/trust her and she would do everything to love and never disappoint you.

Things like working hours, if she has male friends or not, if she is from UK or Rawal Pindi all that doesn’t matter…

Re: So ladies

And what about the situations when the wife is at home, thinking her bechara husband his working hard, when the husband is actually having an affair? Happens a lot. How will your wife know if you are at the hospital, or with a girl?

Re: So ladies

No thats way too much for me. A decent work week should be 40 hours.

Re: So ladies

Don’t forget about hooking up with the nurses or patients in the on call room while I’m on over night shift. Youre right, it does happen, I have doctor friends who have with married nurses or secretaries, but I personally will never cheat, because that’s not my personslity, I even limit my female interaction now in person even though im single because I know the temptation is too great for even the strongest people so I don’t even put myself in a situation where I or the girl MAY be tempted. And this is completely by choice, ive had really pretty pakistani girlfriends before who i thought i was going to marry but turned out they werent right for me (i told them from beginning what kind of girl i was looking for and that i didnt want to change anyone and they reassured me they could be that type of girl haha yeahh righhtt) and now I just dont need attention or validation from others like most girls do (almost every girl exhibits attention seeking behavior, some even after marriage, it’s sad) because im confident in my looks, personality and ability. Im pretty confident this mindset will continue into marriage, wont be interested in other women because thats just not my personality. The only girl in my life that id want is my wife, dont need female friends. I want to be crazy in love with my wife and she would mean everything to me, I’d respect and love her way too much to ever deceive her. I can barely handle one girl, forget adding another one in my life…

Re: So ladies

Good luck with that. Someone I know loved his wife madly. Even shifted to the city where her parents lived, abandoning his own parents. And what did she do? She cheated on him. And this is Pakistan I am talking about. So well you never know!

Re: So ladies

laughs at the sounds of girls swooning around the world run girls, it’s a trick!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: So ladies

Thank you for such nice wishes, gemini from karachi! :stuck_out_tongue:

So wait, you know this happens so why were you surprised when I said a girl could cheat lol..I’ve heard many such stories as well
