Would you give up your career because your boyfriend / husband is against with it? How many of you would sacrifice just to please your love ones...
In my point of view when it comes to our career we should not give it up because someone asked you to do so. I believe that if they love us they will give us the freedom to choose what career would make us happy and what career would help us grow. And I'm not willing to give up my career just because my bf or husband wants me to quit....

I gave up my career two years ago for my family and my boyfriend that time. My boyfriend moved to another place and I followed him. Last year we broke up. I am now married and although my husband tells me I can go back to my old career, I am quite hesitant to do it anymore. You see, I was working in the media industry before and with me being in the limelight, people around me have been affected by the rumors and publicity. I just shrugged off all the controversies but since the people I love were affected, I gave it all up. And now although my husband is very supportive, I'm quite hesitant to go back to my career since I know he needs me to take care of him and support him in our family business. If ever I will go back to my career, I guess it will just be a part time job, especially now that we are planning to have a baby soon.
So basically, I believe it's a case to case basis.

I don't think if someone really loved you, they would make you give up what you love to do and what makes you a strong person. A relationship is a compromise, but women need to be able to provide for themselves because they never know what tomorrow will bring. A person who really loves you for who you are will want you to succeed in the field that you choose, not to try and limit you.

I realize that you cannot make a blanket statement that one size fits all in relationship issues. However, I think you also have to stand back and say, would your boyfriend/husband sacrifice his career for you? If the answer is yes, then you are a lucky person, and careers don't matter much in your relationship. However, what I have seen over the years is my female friends giving up their careers and dreams for their families, then they get divorced, and basically have little skills or position to support their families as single moms. Women need to prepare for a career for life, just the way any man does. Most men never have to consider whether to keep their job or move for their girlfriends or wives, the women usually make those sacrifices.

Its like a gamble in taking chances because we don't know what comes next. We need to think the consequences before we agree to give up our own career.
In most cases women are on the down side which I agree if her partner leaves her after giving up the career where would she end up...

Well, I've given up my job since last january. I did it for the sake of my husband's request and my son. He wants the best for my son and its not bad at all since those months passes by. But its doesnt mean I'm goin to give up my career coz I still have one day of my own to have my own business. :D
