I'm a newbie. Just learn to post. Sorry if you saw it from the other thread. Thanks. 新近认识一位有两个上小学孩子的妈妈(working mom with full time job in a global company where her husband works),丈夫被派回国后“出事”,已无挽回余地,正商议离婚。我们都为他们俩惋惜,一个原本好好的家,如今就要破裂。惋惜之余,想问问这里的过来人,怎么才能夫妻双方的事业/工作,孩子的身心健康,家庭幸福都能顾全? “出事”的男海归们的心路历程是怎么样一步一步走上这不归路的? Would you ask your wife to give up her career/job for yours? What if she did and pull the children away from their friends and familiar surroundings follows you but "things" still happen? It would be devastating to her, not only the marriage broke up, she may even lose her own sense of identity. A job may not be a career, but it does bring home the bacon you live on, a social network from work environment, maybe even a satisfactory of doing things you like to do. And what about the children? Do the fathers feel any guilt in their conscion?
