Lunch time! It's also 'keh po' time (yes yes, I'm one of the 'kpc' clan.) The ladies (what to do? The office is dominated by ladies) were talking of Mr B marriage failure. He has a daughter. Due to her nature of work, Mr B wife has to put up extra long hours at work. Mr B takes care of her girl needs. At times, his daugther will need certain materials for school usage, but her wife priority is at work, although the school is just a short distance away from her office. Mr B have to take leave just to take care of that. Sometimes when Mr B goes back home at night, her daughter was still clad in school uniform. Worst of all, she will tell her daddy she's very hungry. What is mummy doing? Where is mummy? Looks like mummy has gone out for work appointment again. Dressed nicely, make-up, with perfumes. Being suspicious, one day, Mr B check on her handphone messages. Ended up Mr B wife has an affair. Mr B even saw it with his own eyes! Now seperated. Mr B has to work out on his child custody. Financially tight, he has to sell off his apartment (two names - his wife and his) - another problem to dealt with.
Did I say failure earlier? Sounds more like disaster to me.
Because of adults, an innorscent child suffered.
Is temptation that difficult to curb?
Should family matter be the first priority? Work second?
I'm not married. You tell me!

I think the scenario is happening more in western country than in Asia... and seems like more western married men prefer to be homemaker and let their wife be the breadwinner!!
Thanks Pretty Women. Where does your priority goes? Work? Family?
Family of course.
