From my experience, I learned the following: I got married, and worked in corporate America about 50-60 hours per week and became an executive. Then, I moved out of corporate America to have and care for a baby. When I wanted to go back to work, the conversation then was—what about managing my child, a spouse and work? The expectation from my spouse was not aligned with my desire to pursue my dreams. My spouse at the time didn’t mean to ask about this balance selfishly, but on the other hand, if you don’t have a supportive spouse, there are limitations on what you can do.

Now that I’m not married, I can work until 11 o’clock at night, and I can work without guilt. I can take care of business without worrying about a spouse’s expectations, which allows me the space to build my dream. Now, just worrying about me, my child, and my dogs is easier than worrying about another person who has different expectations of how things should be because their dreams and expectations are different than mine.
