It would be nice to show everyone the reality of what us Chefvives go through on a day to day (although most reality shows are staged.) <br /><br />I'm a stay at home mother of 2 that never see's her chef husband and pretty much goes to all school funtions and activities alone. That has never even been invited to a gala...mcuhless attend to one. If they want that...

I'm so jealous, he must feed you soooo well!"<br />Me: "What are you talking about? He works through every meal, then comes home at 1am. We share a kebab and watch a catch-up of that night's X-Factor until 4am."<br /><br />If there was a show about chefs' wives, it would just be two split screens of separate lives that intersect for 10% of a day.Irishttp://www.livejournal.com/iris-stonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-24147979948088529362011-10-23T19:19:27.550-05:002011-10-23T19:19:27.550-05:00TV has really told the wrong story of chefs that&#...TV has really told the wrong story of chefs that's for sure, if they only knew the truth....

Newly married and while I count my blessings every day that we get weekends and nights together right now due to his hours but all those extra gigs add up so I am back to being on my own again. I love people who think we eat like goddesses all the time. Hello, I had Trader Joe's pizza last night. Fancy.

I told myself for 10 years that life would get better & we'd have more time together, but so far it hasn't happened. For about 9 years, I was 2nd, 3rd or 4th to various things. About a year ago he left me, saying he wasn't sure he wanted to be married (and I suspect he wanted to try out life with a new waitress he connected with. He came back a few months later, asked for forgiveness, I gave it & he has made a huge effort to make things work. But now I am questioning whether or not this life is worth it. I find myself not giving 100% to our marriage & it kills me. I love him dearly & he is one of my favorite people. I feel like we're doomed. Any advice? I'm tired of spending holidays, weekends and every night alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-91095819540719926902011-09-20T15:49:47.023-05:002011-09-20T15:49:47.023-05:00The tv producers just need to read this blog and l...The tv producers just need to read this blog and learn the truth about chefs and their wives.

Besides, I think you're right, most chefwives are working women, and the galas become tiresome after you've gone to a few. My chef always abandoned me to go hang out with his other cool chef buddies and drink too much. It was like taking a little boy to a birthday party and dropping him off, yet he always insisted that I accompany him because he didn't want to show up alone. Only one of the many reasons I am now an ex-chefwife. It was truly sad but I think it's for the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
