husband and business partner
September 30, 2012Every single interview I have, the same question will come up: How is it like working with your husband? You go to work with him, you come home with him, you go to sleep with him. You’re together all the time.
I’m wearing a ZAZA printed cardigan.
I guess it’s a bit odd to some people and it’s a different experience for every couple out there. But I give the same answer to anyone who asks me: “Well we’re not trying to kill each other…yet.”
Truth is, we have so much fun together. We’re the best of friends and be it work or personal life, we honestly do have loads of fun together. I think I hit jackpot with this guy and I really need to up my ibadah to Allah swt cos it’s unreal! Ask anyone who works at FashionValet; we’re such a clingy couple. We’re always laughing with each other and at each other. Of course we fight, but that’s usually because Dean’s annoying and won’t say sorry. Other than that, I don’t know how it works but it apparently does.
I have to admit there is no line between work and personal once you work together. Sometimes we’re at the dining table discussing an idea or how to solve a crisis, then we’ll go “Ok so settle ah?”, high five each other and share an ice cream tub on the couch while watching The Voice. (I’m always Team Blake!! Btw, Christina’s cleavage is crazy. I always have to cover Dean’s eyes…)
I guess if you treat work and life positively, everything’s going to just be a challenging ball of fun. No matter how hard, you’ll love your work, you’ll love your life, and you’ll love each other. Insyaallah, I really hope we’ll stay like this forever.
Almost 6 years of love and almost 2 years of building FV, it is what it is; we’re not trying to kill each other…. yet. Hehe.
How bout you? Can you work with your other half?
My parents work together for 20 years. They seems fine.

as for me, we both are doctors in the same department. sometimes we flirt each other discreetly during rounds, and at times we are screaming our heads off because of different opinion on patient’s management. we do have a thick line between work and personal so at work we call each other by names. when he’s focusing doing surgeries, its a freaking turn on!
so to me, its a blessing to work with your husband. at the end of the day, i get to sleep with my mc dreamy and how cool is that!
Vivy how do you curl your hair???? You hair looks so nice in the picture can you like do a tutorial or something!!! π
My prayers are with you two lovebirds. Love to see you and dean together π
yes. i love the fact that we became super BFF after we got together. i think i got lucky and i want to stick with him till jannah. hehe
Yeah .. Met hubby in Uni in USA, then balik we started working together. Took masters together at the same uni and now we’re doing our Phd together at the same uni AGAIN! lol! habis ni we’d be working in the same department. So yeah! Macam belangkas!!! He follows me shopping too and line up for sales to boot! hehehe .. I am truly blessed ;D
i cant work with my husband anymore not when you started to have kids. i missed those days. powerfull business presentation together. long drive or short business trip to the south cum mini vacation/honeymoon..besttt!!
u see, when it was just me n hubby things were so much easier but when the little jnr started tp pop out you will have more issues and before you know it you cant make it to an important meeting anymore..cant be in the office that soon..cant look gorgeous all day.. n u argue more on silly family things in office or argue about business during dinner with kids.. grrrr…
oh well my parents has been working together for almost 27 years now and they have been together since 33 years( since FORM 1!! ) , i always wanted to be like them but am yet to fine my other half. ahahah too bad,
Alhamdulillah! =) may Allah bless u guys always.
i did once. i’ll do the management thingy and hubby do the field work. it was ok. but we argue like old married couple la. not like a normal colleague does.heh
It work fine and great if both have the same work ethics. It never work for me & hub; I am by-the-book girl, he’s just-go-get-it guy!
O yeah, thank God Xtina’s B is not heaving/bouncy…or else I always have to wipe my hub’s drool! LoL
I read an article about Raoul before. They are couple too and look where the brand stands now π
What u and dean have is so rare. I feel like it only exists in movies. Maybe thats what i’ve been telling myself cos i’m not lucky in that department. Oh well, i’d like to focus more on the kids’ future so whateves..haha!
asd
