I know one woman who is frustrated that her husband doesn't like to travel, or drive far. To him, it's a hassle to drive more than 15 kms. She doesn't know how to drive (and doesn't want to), but feels guilty to take off for 1/2 day away from her hubby, even to go far from neighbourhood to wander/explore their new city. (Vancouver where is we live.)

I was a bit surprised to learn that during a work stint of 2 years in Thailand, her hubby had no interest to see more sights of Thailand. Same for work stint of 4 years in Tawain.

They are both university educated, in their mid-30's, Filipino, but fluently bilingual with English. Have a teenage son.

It makes no sense to me... She is very bright, hard-working woman. She taught math at the college level.

You can imagine how suppressed she feels in expanding her horizons ..even abit.

I am careful to say nothing except brightly suggest...maybe over time...
