Lenka I agree with you and that's what I meant we need to balance everything to have that equilibrium and be just
Riyadh: This word Equilibruim was my nightmare word at university when I was studying for my engineering degree LOL You just reminded me of those days ... Saving Changes...

My wife knows about my commitment to work, so never had any problem with that. But at the same time I know that there is life after work, so I always try to spend quality time with my family. Saving Changes...
My wife knows that my commitment to my profession is like a second marriage and doesn't begrudge me my "two-timing" her so long as it doesn't impact our shared commitments. Time spent here is investing in your career and building your brand - both critical these days.
Of course, once golf season starts, then she'll start complaining about my prolonged absences from home :-)

I am not that brave and I admit it.
That's a very good risk assessment. :-) Saving Changes...
My wife doesn't have any idea if projectmanagement.com even exists ; ) Saving Changes...

Kevin,
I want to wear the "ethics" hat here and wonder whether you are giving your wife attention, time and understanding that would be qualified as respectful and fair.
We all have our passions, interests and hobbies that might pull us in a direction that is lacking in balance. Take her with you to Golf? or get her interested in something that will take place at the same time you are playing golf - that will solve the problem.
Cheers,
Amany

Hi Amany, I agree with you 100%. Therefore, I gave up my International Project Management company and came back to Perth to be next to my family.
