Episode 109 : For a few rupees more
He works as a chartered accountant in a big multinational company.
She works as a chartered accountant in another big multinational company.
He is outside the country for two weeks every month.
She is outside the country for four months every year.
They are married to each other. They are in the early years of their marriage. At the most, they are with each other for 18 weeks in a year.
He sounded satisfied while telling me all this.
Is money more important than a relationship that a couple have to be apart for more than six months every year?

I remember reading about sailors who get divorced by their wives within a few years of retirement because the wives were not able to cope up with them being at home 24x7!
Which brings me to a point I have been making, people today expect relationships to work out of the box. And not realise that relationships are like saplings. That they need to be nurtured and cannot sustain themselves after the initial euphoria is over.

Prachi, mutual understanding does not happen just like that. It needs effort and lots of time.
Distance can bring some closeness. But only some. And it is often distance that unravels that closeness.

My observations tell me that more often sooner than later cracks start appearing and then its a downhill ride! Even if there is an understanding it starts to break apart!
