HER JOB TOOK HER A LONG WAY FROM HER
HUSBAND, AND HER BIG BLACK NEIGHBOR
TOOK HER EVEN FARTHER
I work for a major corporation, and like many women in business, I feel that I have to work twice as hard as a man in order to get ahead. I have spent many years struggling to climb the corporate ladder, so I was very frustrated when my boss offered me a big promotion and my dream job, heading a division in Los Angeles. The frustration came from the fact that my husband Peter had a good career in New York, where we lived, and I knew he wouldn’t be in a position to relocate. We also had two children, a daughter starting college and a son in high school. I was incredibly upset at the knowledge that now that all the years of hard work, late nights, and weekends at the office had finally paid off, I wouldn’t be able to accept the promotion.
When I got home that night, Peter could see that I was agitated, so he asked me what was wrong and I unloaded my frustrations on him. Peter surprised me by suggesting I accept the job. When I asked how I could possibly do that, he replied that I obviously wanted the position very badly, and pointed out that with our daughter in college, and our son already pretty self-sufficient and heading off to college himself next year, my motherly responsibilities were pretty well taken care of. As for us, Peter said that although he couldn’t move, other married professional couples lived in different states and found a way to make it work. I could fly back to New York some weekends, and on others he and our son could fly out to L.A. Besides, my company’s corporate headquarters were in New York, so at some point I would probably have an opportunity to transfer back there as a senior executive.
I thought about all this, and realized that Peter was right, and that there was no reason we couldn’t make it work. I hugged him and kissed him and told him he was the best husband any woman ever had. That night we had some of the best sex we’d had in years. The next day I told my boss I would accept the position, and started the process of relocating to the West Coast.
Two weeks later, I moved into a corporate apartment in Los Angeles. My plan was to stay there for a few weeks, until I got up to speed in my new job and decided where I wanted to live. It seemed strange just unpacking for myself, and not having any of the normal distractions I had at home, like my son wanting to borrow my car or playing his stereo too loudly, or my husband parked in front of the TV watching sports for hours, or my daughter coming home on the weekend and handing me her laundry to do while she went out and partied with her friends.
