What characterises one as a trailing partner? I thought not working, and being financially 'dependent' was a precursor. It turns out, that's not always the case. My guest in this episode arrived in China with her employment secured, worked for the majority of the ten years she's spent here, but identifies as a trailing partner. In this episode, we talk about how she sees herself as a trailing partner, despite securing employment, how she dealt with a community which was mostly geared towards single-income families, and how she overcame alienation and isolation in a community which was used to day time socialising!
