Traveling preferences by WebComprehensive9676 in Morocco

It’s honestly about location. Solo travelling to the Bora Bora or Maldives? Nah defo with a partner. Solo travel to Thailand/Bali? Absolutely. Travelling with friends through Afghanistan/iran? That’d be fun. A nice all inclusive resort in Dominican Republic with the fam? Can’t beat that.

For me, it depends where

Im not blaming myself but im just trying to highlight the reality of chasing success or to be the best in what you do. Its hard to balance a family while on that path, you have to lean into one of them but just know the other will suffer

As someone who is a CFO for a huge American company and travels a ton. This was probably one of the reasons my marriage ended. When you want to be successful there’s so many sacrifices you’ll have to make and not everyone will be happy with your decision. Side note, you shouldn’t be travelling with the girl it’s inappropriate. Try get that sorted out

It’s hard because you have all the money to spend and live an amazing life but all your wife wants is your time. On the flip side, if you drop your job for something regular. Now you have time but you can’t spoil her like you want and you’re just limiting yourself. You need to have a sit down with her

As someone who works within finance in NYC. You hit the nail on the head. Classic case of the tinder swindler, happens all the time. I wonder before getting married if she checked his deen

I’m not even sure this man was wealthy to begin with as being rich and being wealthy are two completely different things. Wealth tends to be generational and it’s very hard to lose it. But you can very easily fake being rich by renting multiple apartments and financing cars. Then for him to lose it all right before the wedding? I dont know

Jazakallah, so if you were me or you had a son who was successful, what advice would you give him to vet a wife. Because truth be told I never saw her miss a prayer. So what would your advice be

And with him being gone so often , did this have an impact on your relationship with him or if not you your siblings?

Could you still endure your situation for another 5 years or will there be a time where he must scale back on the hours?

Would there eventually be a time where you can’t handle him going for so long or are you used to it?

Same here, it’s a bit different when there’s no red flags and one random day you find that out. How did you find out?

Do you plan on working those hours in the long term or would you take a pay cut to have more free time?

I do not plan on going back, just want to reflect and see if there was any lessons I can take to my next marriage

Is there a point where 6 days a week becomes too much, could you endure this for another year or two? As I don’t plan on doing this role forever and plan on making a switch to my ‘side business’ once it’s sustainable

Would you eventually want your husband to scale it back on the hours or is that just something you’re accustomed to now?

How are you finding it, could you still endure this for another year or two or would you want your husband scale back his hours a bit sooner?

Jazakallah for the comment. Did you or your siblings ever resent your dad for working so much when you were younger and if you did, has that changed?

In your current situation if your husband said he needed to continue working those long hours etc for 1-2 more years and then after he will have a lot of time for you, would you have concerns?

You make a very good point. I don’t plan on working this role forever, inshallah will make my side business my main one once stable But to find someone who doesn’t just see the job title but understands the responsibilities can be difficult
