I agree. If you have to take care of you significant others, how can you save time for yourself to learn new things or pass certification exams? Plus, nowadays, we work at least 10 hours a day from Monday-Friday.
We may want to take some training courses during weekends.
Seem too much like "living to work" rather than "working to live"

That is caused by so much centralisation in London. Back in 1978 the “champion” commuter didn't even work in the same country: he commuted from Newport to London daily. I am quite sure that working twelve‑hour days is very harmful to all concerned, and agree with Bear Jeanne and Liutauras.Daniel Cox wrote:. . . over a million Britons travel 3 hours or more for work. . . .

Is that one way, or for the day in total?
Bear Bibeault wrote:On a somewhat related note, 21 years ago today was the first full day I spent with my now-husband. I took him on a trip to the Maine coast (I lived in New England at the time) and we've been "spoken for" ever since.

(Surely there's a picture somewhere of the two of you wearing knee-high white tube socks with three red stripes?)
