Married to the(ir) job: living with an academic

I wish at least one interview covered the life of an academic with an academic and its own very particular struggles. Some of the participants talk of having been an academic once, but there is no mention of managing, say, two academic schedules, long-distance relationships and dual career hires, except for passing relief at not having to deal with that. Yet many do have to.

I live in a dual academic household. It is both a positive and a negative. We both work at least 80 hours a week and often are completely over committed, work life balance does not exist. Health issues are starting to arise as for one reason or another the work grows and fills all available space. On the other hand we support each other, act as critics, and readers and we both have on tap a colleague with whom to thrash around ideas.

I once shared a room with an academic and I have to say, life must be pretty tough for him. First, it seems that he is living the life of a hermit. Always on the computer and never sleeps at night. In fact, I would think that the 4-5 hours of sleep he has every night (or should I say afternoon), is spent dreaming on methodologies. As what Allsouls15 suggests, perhaps work-life balance is something that all academics should take an active effort in maintaining. <a href="http://inkmypapers.sg">Nick</a>

Life of an academic in a developing country like Nigeria, where resources for academic work are tight-energy, funding, offices etc,, is very tough. He/she has additional challenges related to poor pay, extended family support and marital responsibilities etc. All these encumbrances are not only affecting strong professional commitment and the recruitment of young academics as replacements in our universities.

As a non-academic pursuing a relationship with a highly successful academic, I have a bit of advice for academics: If a relationship is important to you but you have very little time to devote to a relationship, I suggest that you need to compensate for your lack of time with some encouragement. Use your words. I have found this article enlightening.

For non academic spouses or SO’s, go back to school, and continue your education. Nothing can take that away. Get involved with classwork yourself, and this will provide you with greater horizons. The relationship may fail, the spouse’s career may tank, but nothing can remove your newfound knowledge and the more knowledge you seek, the greater chance you have to take care of yourself.

OMG!! This is certainly a shocking and a genuine Testimony..I visited a forum here on the Internet on the 15th of April 2018 , And i saw a marvelous testimony of this powerful and great spell caster called Dr Oniha on the forum..I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about spell nor magic before.. Not a soul would have been able to influence me about magical spells, not until Dr Oniha did it for me and restored my marriage of 8 years back to me and brought my spouse back to me just as i read on the Internet..i was truly astonished and shocked when my husband knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back.. I am really short of expressions, and i don't know how much to convey my appreciation to you Dr Oniha you are a God sent to me and my entire family.. And now i am a joyful woman once again thanks for your good work and for restoring happiness to my home..
