Comments on: That Big Project and Your Relationship http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/05/07/that-big-project-and-your-relationship/ Rebooting the workforce Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:00:40 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: My Relationship Blog http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/05/07/that-big-project-and-your-relationship/#comment-294657 My Relationship Blog Thu, 08 May 2008 20:31:32 +0000 http://webworkerdaily.com/?p=2278#comment-294657 What if you could recapture your ex lovers mind, heart and soul?...Wipe the slate clean? Turn back time? Even if you feel right now that your situation is too far gone…too screwed up …or just plain too darn complicated? You already know how hard it is to just even wake up and roll out of bed in the morning. You leave your radio off on your way to work because every song is a painful reminder of him. You can't even bear to eat at the same restaurants you took her to. And if that isn't bad enough, you have to cope with the loss of friends and family that are on "their side". Did you know that most relationships can be salvaged? You may find it difficult to believe that almost every break up for whatever reason…infidelity, plain old lost passion, loss of interest, a stolen heart and worse...even the worst situations you can imagine…like men serving prison sentences have salvaged their relationships. Yes, even Ex-cons have got back together with girlfriends and wives after being away for years! I have a blog that has more information on some of what I've been writing about on relationships. If you feel like checking it out, you can find it here: http://winningyouback.blogspot.com It's entitled "The Magic of Making Up - 10 Tips to a Happy Relationship." I hope you read my blog, it can improve on and possibly save your relationship. What if you could recapture your ex lovers mind, heart and soul?…Wipe the slate clean? Turn back time?

Not only is it good for our partners when we make ourselves step away from The Project, it's good for us too! Your comments all made me think of this comic strip: http://geeksinlove.free.fr/?p=55.

For my husband and me, the best thing we did was have "date" nights just like when the kids were young. Those few hours together away from e-mails and the phone were like recess from school. I'd advise anyone going through the same thing not to add more stress to your life by making elaborate plans. Just taking the time away to sit down and talk about anything but business is really important.

I think this is true even in the corporate world. There's always that one big project that everyone is excited about and has lots of attention. It's inevitable that excitement and attention lead to big expectations and for those of us that telework full-time that often translates to an expectation we'll put in the extra hours. Even though my wife is in an entirely different field those extra hours impact her and I rely on her support to finish those projects successfully. I think you are right on with the key being communication. Regular updates and frequent setting of expectations and roles around the house keep things smooth. Your final comment also highlights a crucial piece of the work-life balance for teleworkers. Like the communication piece, I've neglected this at times in the past and the results are always bad. Luckily, my wife is so extraordinary that we always manage to sort it out and I realize how I've failed to uphold my end of the bargain. Thanks for the reminder! Great post.
