Too Late the Hero?  Why is it that married or taken women have the hardest time adjusting and making a balance to that of being a mother (once they have ) and that, being a partner/wife?...It happened again! I just noticed in FB that my former Landlady in New York City was looking so different in her pictures. She used to be so simple, no make up, carefree woman who just loved working in the hospital and be the housewife when she was home. Her husband used to drive her around, did the chores and attended to their 2 sons whenever she was at work. Simple living. Well, that was 17 years ago. And now, all of a sudden, her looks astonished me, as if she had done several surgical make-overs, and the way she dresses up is just not the same Landlady I used to know. Her sons are now living away from home, working abroad. But as good as she looks now, I noticed that somebody is missing in her photos.....the husband!.....I managed to ask her, tactfully, fearing that God forbid, her husband passed away without me knowing it....I don't know if her answer was worse than what I originally thought, but I was so shocked when she admitted, he left her for another woman.....I was astounded. I could not believe it! Her husband was the kind, loving, dedicated, and hardworking man that I knew. At the back of my mind, how did it happen? and why did he do it?.....How I regretted asking her the question...I felt so bad for my Landlady....But analyzing how she looks now, it dawned on me that he may have felt "neglected, taken for granted, and felt secondary" at the time that they were still busy raising their 2 ....Then, a quick flashback of my own life dawned on me. I do remember when my was just a , that all my attention was all over him, that his dad was kinda jealous of the attention my was getting....Men, indeed, have different needs after all, and we, women, do not realize that, until we lose them......That explains why my Landlady is the way she is right now....I know, marriage is partnership, but somehow, most wives tend to make a balance of being the wife, the mother, and being the beautiful, attractive person they used to be.....But, as it is...most of the time, it is too late to realize that.....

Correction please...On the last phrase: I know marriage is partnership, but somehow, most wives tend to have difficulties to make a balance between being a wife, a mother, and being the beautiful, attractive person they used to be to their husbands......Just because we have children, and we are taken, doesn't mean we should neglect ourselves and not keep the romance in our married life...It is important to keep the flame of love burning....
