Love or career?

My fiance, at the time boyfriend, wanted me to move across the country so he could pursue his dreams, and I had to give up my career. I’m still working, but a different field, not my dream. I told him I would be willing to do it if we were married, or at least engaged with a date set. He wanted to propose after we moved, which I was not willing to risk. So I didn’t get the romantic proposal he was planning, but here we are two years later. I have my ring, he has his career goals. I don’t regret choosing love over my career one bit. But like I said I wanted to make sure he was serious about me first.

I had a boyfriend that was jealous I would out earn him in my engineering job so he wanted to get married and have me be a stay at home wife.
His mum asked what I was cussing about and then proceeded to cuss him out with me. 🤷
I'll take money over a man any day, thankfully my fiance isn't a jealous guy and loves that I have a good career path

At one point in our relationship my SO had a job/career path that took her traveling for extensive periods of time. It took such a toll on us and we were growing apart that I said either you come home and find another job and we build our relationship from new or don't come home.
She came home. Traveling for work is always an option but not like that job.

Yes, I was engaged when I first became an attorney. My first job offer as an attorney was an incredible job with a great starting salary and benefits and I beat out several candidates to get it. He couldn't handle that I made a higher salary than he made and it ate away at our relationship. Unfortunately, I had to end it.

On the bright side, I found a man who doesn't care about stuff like that and he supports my career goals. He is very appreciative of what my income means for both of us and what we're able to do because of it.

After college, I chose love over career. I moved out of state with the only connection being a fiance (he moved out there for a job). We broke almost immediately afterward, but I then worked on my career while I was out there. I worked my first full-time job (with lots of overtime), learned how to drive, and saved up enough so I could move back without living with my parent.

My husband and I both made some sacrifices so each of us could move forward in our careers together. We're both passionate in our given careers, and it feels so much more natural that way. So both love and career are fairly balanced.

If a guy made me choose he would not be a person I could love.

I've been working my butt off so that I can have my dream job, no spouse is gonna convince me to give that up.
