I really find it so romantic and flattering if that person could make me first on the list, making the career a second priority. But if it would really be a good opportunity, then I guess some sacrifices can also be made if you truly love the person. Thank you for your response.

Thank you for your response and thank you for making a stand. So for you, you would rather get fired and be with the person that you love. It's quite romantic though!

For us somedays I wish my husband would sacrifice his job for us and move back home..we moved a way seven years ago and we find it hard not being around family. Although I wish it somedays I would never ask my husband to choose. He has great opportunities with his job and the income is great. This enables me to stay home and raise our children.

I would say, if the person really loves you then he/she will not suggest you to sacrifice anything instead will support you in what you are doing and all the other steps of life that you take.

for me its depends on the situation, if he is my husband and he can manage to give full responsibility of our financial then why not, i would willing to do it.but if he's not capable of taking the financial responsibility then i would better make him understand my choice

I was offered a great career opportunity in a different province but turned it down as the love of my life is here

You need to study , so you can get a terrific job. If she loves you she will understand. This is about your future. you owe it to yourself to follow your dream.
A girl friend could be here today and gone tomorrow, an education will take you through life and you can pick and choose where you want to live.You will be able to meet many people in the world...
Do not give up your dream of education, you will regret it for the rest of your life. She will wait, if she doesn't want to. say good-bye... and tell her she missed out on a wonderfully smart boy. There will always be another girl out there just waiting for a very intelligent and mature person......

i can sacrifice anything for the person whom i love because if that person is not there in my life i cannot progress. i would lose hope of recovering. i can get another job of the similar kind but not another person. i cannot love someone else better than him.

If the relationship is going very well, I'd give up my career for them.

I can't at the moment put me in the situation, when I should give up my job (I wouldn't call it career) for somebody. My imagination lets me down. If only I fall in love with somebody from another country but it's hardly possible. Why would a man demand me to leave my job, that I like very much? It would be very selfish from his side, because it would leave me without any income, and I would totally depend on him then. If there were any love from my side, it would die at the same moment I were asked to make such a choice. Financial independency is very important to me, and I never want to loose it.

Yes... I wouldnt mind sacrificing my career..... Actually we are brought up that way.. gals most of the times give up their career if the guy is having a job somewhere else.... getting a guy who loves you and acceps you as you are is very difficult... so if god blesses me that then why no give up my career for him :)
This is what I feel
