LOL.. a thread for me.. I am sure there are other doc's wives around or even docs themselves.
Life is not easy to be honest. Yeah have the money, luxury and all. He is still doing residency but I am sure he earns as much as a simple graduate with years of experience in his/her field does. So with years in his own field, i am sure that my husband will earn a lot more.
So to answer your question, life isn't a piece of cake for me. I do a lot more than a wife with a husband that does only a 9-5 job does. My husband goes away for over 24 hours and I am alone at home, taking care of groceries, bills, cooking, cleaning, going out to see relatives, ALL ON MY OWN each time. I go to his work to give him proper meals when he works long shifts.
When my husband does get time, we do have enough to spend on anything we want. So its good and bad both. As a wife I do take care of all his needs because I know that he has a stressful job and long hours.
Ours was an arranged marriage and with a lot of differences that includes cultural too. I only post when I see if I can adjust to such life, why can't others. I think we all choose our own lifestyles and what we are willing to give up. I love my husband and I understand that if there is any time issues, he is doing his job and providing me with everything I want.
I was aware of this lifestyle before I got married to him. My siblings are all docs and his parents/siblings are docs as well. So no complains :)
