Girlfriend or career? which is more important to a guy? starting a family first or starting a career first? to me, i believe both are important, i got a wonderful girlfriend, but she is quite possessive, taking majority of my time, making me no time to accompany my family, and to focus on my work... sigh, which is more important to a guy? :S

I think you should choose your career, your girlfriend should understand. Plus she seems to be very inconsiderate of you and your family, I think you should break up with her.
I know for me, that no man will ever come before my career, my dreams/goals, family and friends. And they should understand that.

career will be more important to a man. however, it would be ideal to have both career and love at the same time. maybe you should try to talk to your gf and explain to her why fighting for your career at this time of life is so important , and that is to provide a better future for both of you...i guess she will understand.

I agree with you they both are. But, she has to understand that you need the career to make it for both of you in the future.

Career, Family then Girlfriend. Career should come first. you need a job, you need your family too, who can you call on if it's not your family. Girlfriend I sure that won't be your last one, unless you plan on Marrying her. but sounds like you have problems with her and your family. So follow your own intution, do what ever makes you happy. you come first. That's important.

For me 1st things 1st is Career, without career you will be nothing. & 2nd is Girlfriend without a special someone you'll not enlighten your will & not motivated by heart without a partner, because Girlfriend is like a supplement to your career. Thats why it is balance you're girlfriend will be your inspiration after all to do like superman does a career.

Dear, your career. You are here to do something. You were born alone and will die alone. It's difficult to move forward in life. You are just now in the tunnel of darkness right now, but there is light at the other end. Your life should be made by your hands not by others. Give it try, rather than feeling frustrated in old age.

For me carrier is much more important to me because I am in a stage where if have a good carrier in hand I can have many good girlfriends but these all are secondary for me.

Both are important. But one should concentrate on his career first. Or if he already has a girlfriend then they should together plan their careers.

Your wife will not make U work. As Nari has come to earth to work. Purusha(Man) has not come here to work. Man is for spreading awareness of God.
Do not discuss with your wife, your work too much.
Your Girl Friend should listen from you some times.
If/when she does that, she will be your wife.

Here you are confronting with the problem-choose career or girlfriend. In my opinion career is most important. Because if you develop your career, you will achieve your aim in the life. If your status is good, every body will respect you. Once you miss the career development, it will be very difficult to get back. Convince her to wait for sometime

You are in a better situation than me.. i have a wonderful girlfriend who is understanding and caring.. She is not that too possesive that she disturbs me in office.. but now i have to go out of the country for over a year for my career.. I will have to leave everything that i have grown up with and connect with behind and go to this new country of strangers.. Everybody has been very supportive including my girlfriend.. She wants me to concentrate on my career at this stage.. So its a balance that both of you share.. Relationship or Career should be a single journey which both of you have to travel together..

i guess i know want you want but you're not sure if u want to do it or not. in this situation there is no happy ending. ask you're self "what i really need for me?" than you got the answer.
