I was inspired by a friend of mine, who is also married, she is currently busy with her proposal for a PhD. She has been married for many years and has two children. My friend is still able to focus on her career despite the fact that she is a family woman. Many women get married and have children after that their life goals fall away.
Nowadays, women become comfortable in relationships/marriages and forget their dreams. Men always go after what they want. There are people who stay with their boyfriends and become common law wives. What goes through my mind is that has that always been that woman's hopes for her future to live her boyfriend's dream? When a man gets an opportunity to upgrade himself, he doesn't think twice about it. For women, the questions is always what will happen to our relationship?
I feel women sacrifice so much of their lives for boyfriends/husbands. The days are over when women have children, cook and stay in the house. It is time now that women empower themselves.If you don't live your dream now, then when?
I can relate shlobo, people get too comfortable in relationships. Once it is over, a person has no sense of belonging, but when you are educated you can take yourself far. Power to the women!
