One representation of the female expat spouse
Will the
positioning of the female expat spouse filling in / nourishing her life with non-recognized
activities continue for long?
Isn’t the issue
the recognition of the woman social status ? … by herself first ?
An article particularly rich and precise
Has been
published in a French magazine, specialized in expatriates
The author
describes her and her friend’s life.
The representation of the husband and the
wife are described as referring to women’s status anterior to the development of
their social rights: a person who is happy to do with easy pleasures or who
engages herself to make a humanitarian difference, with no pecuniary and so
social recognition that goes with it.
Another point: This article had many positive comments and very few negative expressed reactions.
The issue raised
Does the status
of the female expat spouse go automatically with a renouncement of the self-recognition
as an individual capable of holding an active social responsibility ?
Are those women happy
with their status, in their majority ?
Observations
If some are
happy to benefit from a break in their life; they are more and more to feel
anxious about the ‘hole’ in their C.V.; asking themselves how long can they stay
without working before totally renouncing because they have lost their
self-confidence, their technical knowledge . . . ?
They wonder how
they can manage their husband’s behaviour who at times thinks it is now normal
that he does not participate to house chores anymore.
Loss of desire
followed by fatalistic acceptance.
Testimonies are
numerous though are not openly expressed
Hypothesis
Denial and
hyper-activity are part of thtis population’s life ; there is a belief
that saying leads to culpability to stop their spouse from moving on their
career path.
Hyper-activity
do not leave one second free to reflect on one’s deep desires and feel what is
happening , for example what the body can express.
And all that this can reveal
and help understand the individual situation.
The bottom line of the issue: What is awaken from the
personal history
Each woman’s
right to be, and so to not be: an equal social partner ?
What would the danger / interest be to . . .
. . . Question
right now if, at the end of your life, you will have accomplished what is truly
important to you ?
