If you had to choose one or the other? Assuming you have found love, but lets say a great opportunity has arisen abroad...
for your 2nd sentence yup already got it.

so i'm doing the behind the scenes career, while my hubbykins is the out there material world career.

what about yourself OP?

I was career (lonely life) turned to love and relationship but missing the career part. That balance is essential. I have to be working for myself (this would take me abroad and away from love) or my family/children/home (which I don't have yet) Unbalanced Libra-Yelp!

being a 1st houser, i can feel the 7th (my opposition) of needing balance, and yes i agree.

we all need a balance. but i wouldnt want to travel away from my family though. So if the opportunity strikes, i'd take them with me. my husband always turns down alot of out of country trips and vacations and gives them away if they aren't going to take the family.

I'm not someone who chases love.But I know true love is very hard to come by. You can do anything with your career if you have the worth. One thing I've seen n believe is, two people who are in love can survive doing anything.They will be eachother's strength n that should be enough to chase your dreams.

I think the people who end up resenting are the ones who didn't believe in themselves or in the relationship.

I don't know any that have married for money but I do know a couple who have been mistreated And poured themselves into their careers as a result... That love and devotion has to go somewhere whether it's pets and career or kids and a husband (or wife)

No.. not married for money..



Literally married to money... may it be thru career, bussiness, investment, selling anything.. sleep less than 4 hrs a day.. money means everything to them..

"money is my way to freedom" (im quoting this from my friend ?)

But they dont hv a lavish life style or anything.. very very humble and like to help others..

To choose between love and career, is a much easier choice than to choose between love and duty.

----

Duty is relative, subjective.
As is a career, and love, for that matter.

----

You are right.

I see love and career as something specific while duty is more difficult to define and open to interpretations.

I used to work like 50-60 hrs a week, sometimes more. You barely have free time and then you go partying at the weekends because you feel like you miss life and many men make all that money to get laid and impress women anyway (at least from what I have seen). So you do it week by week and it can be great but you will get older and you won't party as much anymore because it gets boring and exhausting. So you reduce partying and do other stuff instead. If you are lucky you will find a good hobby or a woman, if not, you will become an old and lonely playboy at best but some men don't mind.

But I would never like to be a single career woman, that must be worse. As a guy you can get drunk at saturday, hook up with somebody and then meet up with your buddies on sunday. I don't think this would be fulfilling for any woman on a long term

they do find ways...it's their family, like sister's, brother's families, mother's aunts, uncles, father's lives, and if they have children...spend time with them too, and their families. they have plenty of friendships too. good ones.

and when they are retired, they volunteer work and also help others, family and friends. they are never alone.they give love elsewhere.

the love has to go somewhere.

I'm sorry it never appealed to me

Grocery shopping

Cooking staying home , cleaning after my partner

Going to chili's n that's it for life!!!!!! The ordinary life bored the fuck out of me
I think if you were with the right person, you

could do and have both... meaning the life style

that makes you happy.

Same goes for myself.

Ime, marriage (unfortunately) does not always

= love.

You picked the wrong guy and obviously did not contribute to the livelihood of the relationship.

I was thinking more like wining/dining, traveling the world, family/friend get togethers, new experiences teammates.

Agree! Although I think that maybe some people dont be themselves from the very beginning and set standards that arent realistic or will make them unhappy in the long term. There has to be a certain element of selfishness for a relationship to work. 2 people being authentically themselves and it being the perfect recipe! Knowing who you are and whats important to you and relaying it to the other is the way to go.
