          While I do see Leeyl's DH point but if DH were to say that to me he will get shot down by me. :razz:

          Only I am susceptible to office affairs? What about him?
          Don't want to hear me grumble about colleagues then ok to hear me grumble about the kids or parents? Or I cannot grumble to him at all?
          😂

          This would be peanuts compared to other nasty things he said before which sometimes make me feel belittled (as a SAHM).

          But I do agree with my DH’s reasoning. He said I am 自恋成狂, 爱自作多情 type. So he better shut me off from the world of temptations outside. 😂

          My hubby is very good in separating his private life from work. When he steps out of office, he leaves everything behind thus he seldom talks about his work related stress. Maybe men and women are just different.

            ... but I rmbr a taxi driver used to tell me - so long as he earn money to feed the family, if he spend extra time & money just to hv fun & family don’t know, he believes he alr discharges his duty. What a jerk!
            Hubby’s good friend started off with a female colleague with harmless joking and teasing then both sort of developed further. That (married) woman told hubby’s good friend that her husband always played HP game and she felt neglected.

            Hubby’s friend told hubby, he felt assured that he fulfilled his duty and he never neglected his wife because he brought her to the hawker centre to have breakfast with her!
            I was like, :whut:

              Lee_yl, are you pressurized to meet certain quota for renting out or selling properties?

              Also, do you need to share certain percentage of your “commission” to ERA?
              No pressure. I believe not everyone who joins ERA is a full time agent as there are many part-timers out there. However, I will feel the pinch when it’s time to renew the license as renewal fees are not cheap plus need to pay for the courses (not cheap either), compulsory insurance, etc., easily $500-$600 just for renewal even if I’m not making any profit.

              Yes, commission needs to split with company 70/30 or 80/20 or 90/10, depending on your seniority.

                    I think it is very worth it when you buy or sell your own properties. The savings can be tens of thousands of dollars!

                        Ya. So sad. Some men hv been wired that way - to think in one small dimension of life.

                        Yr DH shld hv told his good frd to advice that lady colleague of his to hv open conversation with her hubby abt being neglected. When spouses do not communicate then it’ll be downhill. But guess, yr DH’s good frd May Hv a ‘soft, kind heart’ not to resist her. Two wrongs do not make any right. Two selfish persons will not help build a strong marriage. Just realized the good frd must hv felt great having someone throw herself to him. Yikes! More ppl will get hurt.

                        For any one of us, to fulfil our wows & responsibilities as a spouse in a marriage, it shld mean every aspect - support each other emotionally , physically, health & spiritual areas.

                        I’ve been sharing with DH that our kids must know, a marriage, like life is hard work. If we do not work hard & only feed our senses then any relationship will get rusty. I’ve been training my kids to be responsible towards grandparents, maids, neigbours & even passerbys & not only sit unresponsive. But charity must begin at home. Priority to parents & spouse. Outer circles are frds & acquaintances in the event they hv to prioritize.

                        It’s hard to judge. I guess I just hope my kids learn the right values & build right attitudes to ready themselves for their future relationships. So, better I do my part as a parent to help them recognize right & wrong and learn resilience fr daily life. Make right choices & decline things that are just too easy to get.

                        The future I can’t tell how it’ll be but I do hope humanity still possess sense of decency.
