Compromises - career and home? Recently a funny thought has occurred to me about relationships. Humor the following scenario: I visit the city and stroll through a shopping mall. In one of my favorite stores I bump into the most handsome guy ever. He is intelligent and soft-spoken. We click immidiately because we start chatting about things we share an interest in. Then we decide to go and have a coffee at one of the cafes and end up chatting for the next 3 hours. We get along very well and want to see more of eachother. We both discover that we dont live in the city but a few hours from each other, and we both are pursueing excellent careers. We want to see more and more of eachother. I cannot just up and away because of my career and neither can he... What to do in such a scenario? :eusa_doh: Just wondering. At the moment there is no one in my future. But I usually have this kind of luck. :eek:
Well, there's always the weekends. Working too much actually decreases work performance. You could set up a time and place, meet up, and have a day off together. Once a week, maybe? That sounds like it could work. You could spend the rest of the week focusing on your career.
Go for career first. Having a steady source of income makes the other things easier to achieve, and not necessarily the other way around. Besides, Gentleman is correct. It doesn't seem like you're so far away that you can realistically never see each other.
