as the subject stated, would you give up your job for saving your love? for example in my situation, i love my boyfriend so much, but now he has to move back to his hometown to continue his job. i really want to follow him, but i have my job here and seems it just gets a good development. i love my boyfriend, and i also love my job. if you are in this situation, would you give up your boyfriend? or your job?

If he is just a boyfriend, i guess i will not give up my own career so i can move with him to a different place. of course i would have to think first of my own career and life plans. moving in with him does not guarantee that we will alwyas be together anyway...
of course, if i am married to that person, my priority will be my family and i will leave my career and everything behind, even my friends for my priority - which is my family.. i will just try to build a new career - which i know will be very hard at a different and unfamiliar place.

I would definitely give up my job. True love comes only in rare chances. I don't want to lose someone I love just to give way to my career and ambition. There are many alternatives thought. You can have the best of both world by staying with your partner and having a new job.

i also wish so, but i just worried the new job, may be i will be a loser in the new job, or maybe i can not even get a new job. you know nowaday, the high unemployment rate always threatened everyone.

Personally it would really depend on the relationship and what would be Best for you. Unless you can guarantee you would be happy following your boyfriend if this is what he wants you to do, you would be best set where you are with what you have, and in time if your boyfriend really wants you, he will send for you. Just always remember to never let your personal happiness and freedom stand in the way.

it depends. but i think in your situation, the job is necessiy. if you can just live without your job, you can very well leave it and follow him. Now try to concentrate on this job. may be he finds or you find the job in same company few times later and can enjoy life.

It all depends on how important my relatioship is at the point of time. If I considered my relationship a lifetime relationship, then I would give up my job. But if it were just a temporary, not serious thing, then, I would choose to continue my job.

For me, practically speaking... i would not give up my job because of saving some relationship. The reason for it because it is really hard to look for another job nowadays, since competition for job career is quite tight nowadays. And you put enough effort to land for a decent job. Quitting it could end up your financial freedom.
I think the best way to help save the relationship is to talk and explain to your problems your differences talk it out and work things out by being patient and understanding one another.
