Should i give up my career for love?

glamourshot Asked by tia01 over 2 years ago, 3 answers.

I'm in a long distance relationship and ready to take the next step (boyfriend wants me to move overseas with him). We're serious having dated for 5 years, and contemplating marriage within the next year.

However, I'm currently in a job I enjoy and have...

worked my way up to for a long time. I really want to give the job a go. I don't think I can get the same opportunity while overseas with my boyfriend. At the same time, I'm eager to explore the idea of taking a sabbatical and being with the one I love.

Any advice on this?

It sounds like your real dilemma here is whether or not to continue on with hardwork in your career or to take an exciting extended vacation.

5 years of dating and no ring. Now that he's overseas, he wants his honey with him and you two are contemplating marraige?

From reading your post, it doesn't sound like true love marraige in the making. I think you already know this to be true. I mean, you're on the internet asking strangers to determine if your career or your man is more important? The answer is clear to me already. I think it's clear to you, too.

Contemplating marriage, contemplating being the key word. You have a steady job you enjoy and a fantastic opportunity to explore it after having worked so hard for it. On the other hand, moving overseas is a big risk (if, by some chance, it does not work out, where do you go? what do you do?). I'm not telling you what to do, but you've got to ask yourself which one is more important to you. If this person is the man you want to be with for the rest of your life, see if your work can make any recommendations to you for opportunities where he is. Your work may allow you to come back if, after a year, it doesn't work out and you chose to go home. Just remember that sometimes the romantic fairytale story of giving it up for love isn't all it's cracked up to be.
