Story
Ok, so it's been quiet on the blog for a day or so. But when I look at the stats in the morning and I see that only 4 readers have been on and no comments, I don't exactly try hard. But now I have a story for you.
Picture this: a woman lives with her Mum until she meets boyfriend. Moves in together with boyfriend. AND his parents. Ok, so it's a big house but still. And she has studies to finance.
Today it is 10 years later. 10 YEARS LATER! And they still live with boyfriends parents. In the same house. When I came to Switzerland I learned that it is common to use the formal Sie-adressing until you know people. This woman still have to do so with the boyfriends parents. After living 10 YEARS IN THE SAME HOUSE!
Now, I don't know about you, but isn't this taking it to the extreme? And if she's not gonna be home for dinner, which apparently is served 18.30 sharp every day, she has to tell them 1,5 hours in advance.
Is this a life? Well, I guess not everybody is the same but I feel sorry for her. She's otherwise an intelligent woman.
What do you think?

If she feels good then o.k. nothing to say. But if she doesn't like the situation then:
Why is she still living there?
Is her boyfriend devoted to his parents?
Why...
Why...

In fact, I have never discussed her situation with her. Don't know her well enough. Detected some uncertainty from her though.
I guess boyfriend must be devoted to his parents. Why else would he still live with them?
... I assume since her studies are going to end, there will be a gig change - either for good or bad. suggested to look for a job in zurich. we will see... there is always a place to stay at my place ...
