As the days close in and we begin to think towards the end of another year, I have to also ask the question of whether our tempers and our patience have become shorter as well?
Perhaps it is the passing of the seasons, and this manifests itself through the dissatisfaction of relationships. But what if there is a deeper dissatisfaction at work?
Women have spent so long thinking that they want to be independent, emotionally and financially, that it has got to a point where it is difficult to do a 180 and turn back. Many of my peers could be financially independent if they were single, but they have ironically found themselves in relationships with men who are neither financially nor emotionally independent, and therefore they feel unable to walk away.
Women of my generation seem to have spent so long chasing the ideal they think they want; and now they have it, and don't want it, they don't know where to turn - which brings us back to the original conundrum of "be careful what you wish for......."
