If kids were there, well it would have been a much more complex decision with out doubt.<br />In that case, tolerence level might have been even higher to the extent it might not have precipitated in a separation.<br />2."Equally agressive" by itself is one of the parameters in the relationship.It need not hamper if other key paramters are in place.<br />You may recall Leo Tolstoy's words " Happy families are all alike.Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way". What he implied was that, there are many critical parameters like Money, Religion,Education,Child values, etc etc.Any serious failure in one can result in collapse even if other stuff are in shape.<br />In systems study also there is corresponding concept, "When the set of variables are so inter-dependent,the question of which is the seat of system's ID becomes less important" - For example, Pluse rate, Body temp and respiration. When one of such critical variables fail, others will occur so quickly that, observer is unlikely to argue about the survival.<br /><br />Regards,<br />madhuJujubaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189263813465023517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353471140255363906.post-21826228798679006482009-11-05T16:37:07.893-08:002009-11-05T16:37:07.893-08:00Madhu-san, I'm curious to know on what your ta...Madhu-san, I'm curious to know on what your take is if Shrimati and Shrikant had kids. How does a couple, with equally aggressive aspirations, manage to have the so-called "work-life balance"?Smithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225200449261049082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353471140255363906.post-38445369048760767422009-09-21T05:34:38.373-07:002009-09-21T05:34:38.373-07:00I did not hold back anything Mohan.
