Re: To the Doctor’s Wife…just wondering
I come from a family of doctors and married one too, so i was pretty aware of what it’s like being married to someone who is actually married to their job!
It’s stressful at times, and yes there are times when he’ll have to be on call and work ridiculous hours, or travel and work away for a long time, but i can’t have him all to myself… our life is not romanticised fiction, it’s reality :)… and i’m happy knowing that he’s helping another people who need him.
I take care of most of the household duties, bills, groceries etc… but even if he comes home totally drained, he’ll still play with the kids and get them ready for bed, or even pluck up the energy to cook! So he’s very hands on in that respect… he doesn’t disconnect himself.
No marriage is perfect, and i don’t know why, by marrying a doctor, people think you have the perfect rosy life 
. A successful marriage is about the willingness to work at it and commitment, regardless of whom you are married to
