It is definitely not about money but me being happy doing what I love to do. Ya, that was my point really. I won't do anything for anyone just because they ask me to. | |

An unequivocal "yes" to all of the above. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

pplrain said: Anxiety said: 1. Done that. 2. I'd actually like that very much, though I am uncertain that scenario would ever present itself. 3. I think when anyone enters a relationship, they give up a significant amount of independence and trade it in for a significant amount of co-dependence. Would I give up my career? As it stands now, sure. I wouldn't give up my goals, dreams or ambitions, though. If my career were 100% what I wanted it to be, I'd rather share the benefits of it with him than be told to walk away from it. 4. What? [Edited 1/6/09 17:22pm] What? Its the password( he he had to throw that in lol). My answers: 1. Did it 2. yep depending on the money situation(got kids) 3. nope 4. wtf and NO WAY!

If you get married, isn't your independence taken from you? I mean, you are now partners and should consult each other about your actions. No?
And I don't care giving up a career. I can always find something else to do, and make whatever my career was, into a hobby. The way I earn money is not important to me, my family, is my number one priority. | |

I'm actually surprised but not surprised in a way at how easily people would give up things for their partner. Maybe I'm thinking about it on a deeper level then some are on here as I would never just do something for someone to make them happy...it would have to be something that I really want as well. Simply making someone else happy is not enough to make me happy and maybe that's the difference here...some people are happy just to see their partner happy...? | |

I think it also depends on what you're trading, something you care a great deal about or something you can take or leave anyway. I love where I live, but I've always wanted to live somehwere else for a while. I do well at my job, but it's far from my dream job, so I can see something pulling me another direction there too. etc. |

None that would make ME miserable but sometimes change is good and ya never know...you could be a lot happier after you make that change. I wouldn't do anything drastic, but sometimes subtle changes make a huge difference to someone else. | |

She's said that she isn't on board fully but her partner wants her to do it for him...so that's how I was looking at her question. | |

"Taken" ? not at all - you may choose to give up some of your independence - SOME of it not all yes partners should consult each other not control each other | |

Yes. 2. If he/she asked you to give up working and be a stay-at-home mom/dad, would you do it? I am waiting for that to happen. 3. Would you give up your independence/career for him? This is a tougher one. If I stayed at home then that is what would happen. Luckily, I could always resume my career if it turned out to be a disaster.4. What if he tries to bribe you with money? Money would work. I do have a price. [Edited 1/6/09 17:18pm] Peace. Love. Prince | |

She did it for me, i am about to do it for her 2. If he/she asked you to give up working and be a stay-at-home mom/dad, would you do it? Of course, if it was best for our family 3. Would you give up your independence/career for him? She would never ask that as i would not of her, what is best for her is my goal, what is best for me is hers, it would never be a "do this or else" scenario 4. What if he tries to bribe you with money? She does not have to, we talk [Edited 1/6/09 17:18pm] | |
