.. it's hard balancing your career with somebody you're romantic with.. now throw in children.... and you want to talk about complicated..lol... constantly feel like you're being pulled in 3...well. OK throw in an ex-wife in there..4 different directions....
. You constantly feel like you're pleasing everyone but yourself... but sometimes you find a little pleasure in there for yourself...


hell!your given scenario clearly gives the' horror'out of me!!:wink:
lol!laugh

but,on the serious note.
balancing between the two or choosing either both.

still requires extra effort to consolidate the right blend of keeping a harmonious flow of the chosen path you were in.ohwell ohwell :ohwell

key formulas: respect and understanding

have you ever reached to a certain point in life.
you're 'tad wobbly' in finding or should I say seeking balance in between career and romance?




What's Romance? Should I have no1phD give a course on this??? shocked


On the serious side, I think it comes down to what you value most. Yes there are times that work requires your time and there is not much you can do about that but if you want romance (or a relationship for that matter), then you may need to fight and make time for that to happen (assuming the person you want to be with is valued more than work)...

Don't let work be your, or your partners, only life. It's not healthy for you or a relationship if you are in one.

That's my personal experience.


oh now I know where no1phD screen name comes from...he has doctorate degree in romance hah!..lol:wink:

on that one serious note once again.
I concur into this opinion of yours.

it all comes down into the same

If he loves you he'll understand how important the "career" is to you.

If you love him you'll understand that sometimes the "career" should take a back seat.

It is tough no1. Careful consideration is necessary. It kinda sucks because you have to put your relationships on the table and weigh them. Kids and family first, ok good so far. Life long friends, exes, and oh yea relationship. That's were the math gets mixed up. On this level you are constantly struggling with the balance. I have a good friend that I have know since we were teens. When I was married, from time to time, he would always get invites to barbaques, pool parties ect ect. When he has a girl friend, he disappears for 2 years, just calling in once in a while. I tell him, Hey man what is up, I can tell when you have a girlfriend, you go off radar! He said comon man, we are buds forever, I'm still trying to get my first marriage under my belt!

He has made a priority to find a mate and he prioritized our friends ship as solid and can weather a storm. Some people are not so understanding. They want to be the only thing in your life. I can see that when you are new at dating. But latter when you have multiple relationships young and old, can you balenciaga them without messing up? I doubt it. :banana:
