Compromise

Julie had led a worry free life. She was a career woman. Sitting comfortably with her power suit at the corner office. She had made good money and had been proud of her accomplishments - both professionally and financially. She used to buy her loved ones thoughtful presents and pamper herself as well. Money, for her, had been a mean for being happy and she had a lot of it.

She had an entire team of helpers - a personal trainer, a hair dresser, a cook and a cleaner. She had all she ever wanted but a happy husband.

Her husband was trying to lead his business off but had always failed. He was a foreigner and he could not speak the language, nor could he understand the culture and the way business are made there. He was miserable and it showed.

Their once flourishing romance was getting wilted.

One day her husband decided that he had had it. He was leaving. He told her that she could join him if she wanted but he was leaving one way or the other. He would go back to his hometown and start over.

Julie was furious at first but decided to make this compromise for the love of her life. Only a few months along the way, in the new country and without the team of helpers, she understood that before it was the money she was compromising for. She was compromising her life.
