Weighing the +/- of the situation. Will keep it short!!! Senario: You're about to be married (very serious about making that commitment) and your s/o wants you to be a Stay-at-Home parent. They are able to support that lifestyle, but to do so, cannot relocate.
You: have the career opportunity to land your dream job. But it'll entail 60+ hrs/week and possible relocation.
If you take the job, you can't be a stay-at-home.. let alone maybe lose the relationship if you have to relocate.
And if the relationship should fail for any other reason, you'd resent the other person for foregoing that career opportunity.
*****What would you do?!?!?!?!?!?!
HELP!!!
Update: November 03, 2009. i want kids and i'd be better at raising them than she would. we would love them equally, but i'd raise them better. she also makes $200k/yr, and I don't. So if i take my career, none of us can be home b/c neither of us will be 9-5pm people. See, I want my dream job, but it might mean missing out on kids, or at least postponing it 2,3 years. Because if i don't have her, then who knows what might, or might NOT happen. - Asked by Male, 29-35 |
