Once upon a time and long ago, you and your spouse lived together under the same roof as a family. You slept together, ate together, vacationed together, and, most important, raised your children together. One, or perhaps both of you, worked outside the home. Sure, you were overburdened by household chores; sure, you were tired from too many hours at the office or on the train. But there were the compensations: The thrill and sheer idyllic pleasure of weekend soccer or basketball games, the gentle intimacy of an afternoon at the park, the dance recitals, class plays, and rounds of Monopoly or Scrabble on rainy afternoons. You also had some treasured time alone. While your spouse went off with the kids for an afternoon at the movies, you had the luxury of hanging out at home, no responsibilities, save for the novel you had to finish, perhaps, or the Chablis you were able to slowly drink. |
