Ever gave up on a dream job, because you mixed buisness with pleasure?

That is me now. Being a taxi driver was a dream job for me. Years before I was old enough o drive a cab, I would dream about it. Not always so much that I knew it would come true, but enough I thought it to be a really cool thing. Having been a driver for six months out of the last 2 years I see it is a hard job. It takes long hours, and knowing where your are going, on top of dealing all kinds if passengers.. Little fears came up at me I didn't expect though, like the safety courses a driver takes to go out and get a license shoved me into craziness of thinking I would get robbed or hit and killed by the next person or car that I encountered.. I miss my son when I have to work for such long hours.. With all of these con.s against all of the numbered pros., one for certain occurance in my life makes me want to quiet this industry.. Beyond feeling singled out for being a young female driver.. I fell in love with my last two boyfriends... as I met them at work( driving cabs!) The first was a long term relationship, and we are now friends. I did not have a job when I met him, but was ready to back to driving soon, and I did. the next guy I meet as I am also working, in a cab. This thing went short, like a grocery store trip that calls every week and tells you thank you with a nice tip. However, we weren't right for each other and I took it he wants or needs another cool chick to be with.. So now I have to think how humilliating it seems to be a driver of a taxi or even a limo knowing these two great guys are out there in the city somewhere too.. I just can't do it. I did not plan to look for only cab drivers to date either.. So i WONDER WOULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN? Now I am set.. I can't drive a cab agian ever!!! Would agree to this, or is this just the simple want to run and hide trick I think I might need but makes no sense? Or do you think I act this way out of all the negatives and etc? Any advice?
