Speaking for myself, I chose this profession, years ago, because I loved problem solving, absolutely loved it...
I also knew I was the type of person who needed a certain amount of time away from other people, for long stretches of time, to "recharge" my social self...
Which means I am, at heart, an introvert...I need time away from people to be at my best....my wife loves me for that...I can't explain why, but she does...I married better than she did in my opinion...
Nevertheless, as our industry "speeds up" I wonder how many excellent "problem solvers" will be pushed beyond their "mechanical limits"...?
She probably loves you for that because she gets her own space too, to do things that she likes without having to constantly always think about this anchor of another person.
I'm horrified at the idea of being in a relationship where people don't get their own space to pursue their own interests and grow/learn together but also independently.
