That's why I read your blog. <br />Your clearly a good man and your wife is lucky to have you.<br />I had a friend who had to work in denver for a year and made it home once a month. When he got back they nearly split up cause she was used to doing it her way all the time. They made it tho. <br />Good Luck. You have a good head on your shoulders and I am betting on your success.Kansas Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744438882831933314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527913791294258201.post-71797632472443724082010-09-06T14:22:08.912-07:002010-09-06T14:22:08.912-07:00KC, the Mrs. and I do that all the time as a gut c...KC, the Mrs. and I do that all the time as a gut check, and to avoid conflict. Sometimes it works. I occasionally lecture at conferences for one group to help researchers recognize and work around cultural bias in comparative sociological studies. Recognizing issues as they pop up isn't too hard... creating work-arounds, however, is challenging. <br /> As to the job, it's not something that can be easily justified. Some people can find happiness in their personal lives sufficient to face a job where they receive no satisfaction. Myself, I am the man my wife loves because of the impact of the feedback from the job on my identity as a person. Makes me selfish, I guess, but a man born to drown will never hang. This is what I'm on earth to do.Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527913791294258201.post-50255422066227667522010-09-06T09:56:51.698-07:002010-09-06T09:56:51.698-07:00You would have to expect a number of challenges wh...You would have to expect a number of challenges which you have identified. You don't really address the cultural challenge which is considerable and possibly at the root of your disagreements on your plans. <br />I once had a brief thing with a woman from Guatemala who was very pretty, nuts, and half Italian. Once we actually started to get to know each other it fell apart fast. <br />In your case, I suggest you must be ready for significant compromise. <br />Frankly, I don't know how you can stay gone for so long. I understand the reason's for having this career but you will pay a price. Someone's gonna try to steal it and you know it.Kansas Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744438882831933314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527913791294258201.post-63021094641834078822010-09-05T22:34:30.060-07:002010-09-05T22:34:30.060-07:00your family sounds pretty cool.
