subject: Taking Into Consideration Lawyer And Non Lawyer Relationship [print this page] Well.In every relationship we have, there is always this love-hate dynamic occurring in our individual lives. Talking about relationships, there are new relationships, committed and exclusive relationships, with engaged couples and with married couples as well. If there is not, well I guess it is because you have not known the person for a longer time to find something to tell. In some aspect of life, love-hate relationship does not depict that passion is nowhere to be found, intimacy is not there and no sincere and deep love ever existed, same as commitment and devotion.
Hence, same goes as in the lawyer-non-lawyer relationship. I wonder how the lawyers play the role of being a supporter as well as an uptight individual, even sabotaging the relationship.
For instance, if the lawyer piece said to being a skilled negotiator, so what is it like when compared to a relationship.
Many do like lawyers, however, it is such a contradicting part when it comes to the roles to be played at home, especially when the lawyer is married.
Or maybe, is it your non-lawyer partner who is dependent on the lawyer-partner to do all things that needs time efficiency?
Does the partner of the lawyer depend on the sociable lawyer-partner to be an entertainer at a dinner party, to be an ice breaker, and to keep them alive at the party?
Why else might your partner say, I love your being a lawyer?Does the non-lawyer partner satisfied by having friends or neighbors go to your lawyer partner to get some advice?
On the other end of the continuum, what might it be about the lawyer-partner that gets in the way of a smooth relationship?
When does the good, desirable side of the lawyer-partner shifts into a more repelling side that will result bitterness or sarcasm?
For example, when the non-lawyer partner needs support, a kind ear, and silence in order to be heard, does the lawyer-partner become overbearing, dominating in a manner that is insensitive, undiplomatic, holier than thou, or argumentative?
Does the lawyer-partner always need to have the "logic" of a discussion drive the discussion, and perhaps drive the non-lawyer partner away? Or maybe conflicts occurs?
Does the lawyer-partner need to cross-examine and dominate over the non-lawyer partner every time they have different views or goals?
So, my curiosity. When does it maintain your relationship to hold the office home and when does it maintain the relationship to depart away from the office? My inquisitiveness is addressed to the lawyers and non-lawyers partners, or for every individual who are in a relationship with lawyers.
