How do actual grown ups with a demanding job (let's say a team lead with an MBA and 5-6 years of experience) take out any time for their partner/spouses?
Is it just normal for adults to only meet at dinner? Especially when you live far from each other.
The unfortunate realities I have seen come out of this are:
You're single and have somewhat of a college-goer love life. No commitments. I think that is hardly sustainable beyond your immature youth years.
You're committed but in a bad relationship which leads to the entire point of being in a relationship being negated since not only your outside life, but also your domestic life are giving you more mental pressure than you can dissipate on your own.
You're committed but you don't care anymore, neither does your partner. I don't know how common adultery actually is, but my guess is at least in double digit percentages and based on how messed up corporates are, maybe even higher than 50%!?
The perfect relationship where both people are not happy, but also successful and absolutely immune to what the outside world thinks or does. I think that would be the personal life equivalent of clearing NEET, IIT, IIM, UPSC all in one lifetime. Is it possible? Maybe. Is it easy? Hell no.
Few things which we do.. now that I think about it
Also, none of this is a set in stone that call during lunch, go to gym etc.. we just do it randomly based on when and how we feel.
Overall it works out for us
Do you not have few seconds to text back?
Maybe 5 times in the 12 hours?
Mere paas hai but no gf, ig my problems are existing in some parallel universe 😂
Obviously texting back 5 times in 12 hours is very much doable but it's either asynchronous texting which doesn't feel like connecting at all or it is being on text at the same time, which takes more than just a 'few seconds'...
The thing is, I don't understand how people work long hours and also maintain relationships in their personal lives. Maybe because I've only been in a relationship when I was in college and back then we had a lot more free time on our hands.

I think it’s not the work that I am bored of but the fact that corporate doesn’t allow you personal time and space. My timings have always been 10 to 8 or 11 to 9 and it’s next to impossible to get a project that has 9 to 6ish. How are p...
Just want to understand if it’s manageable when both are working. Like given the current cost of things in tier 2+ cities and uncertain employment scenes… I can’t imagine a household going well enough without both earning. If you’re such...
Lately, walking in the garden and watching birds chirp in the morning has become an underrated thing that I find deep happiness in.
Even late night walks are becoming interesting with an ice-cream at hand and the wind blowing in my h...
