Would you *ever* give up your ideal dreams/future/career for your perfect partner?

Careers are taken up for purposes. Unless you're one of the lucky few who can pursue what they truly love and make a career from it, I don't think it could replace being with a perfect person.

Put it this way, if I don't get the career; I've failed my own life. Its all I want to do. Pretty much all I think about.
I'll go for the career, and hope to find someone along the way.

It just love having that goal. Looking everyday at my times and seeing how I'm getting faster and faster. Watching videos back and seeing myself ride and getting better.

I just think that feeling is second to none. And until I reach the best biker in the world, I'll relish in it. Haha.

Thanks for that book reference.

Yeah. I agree.

I believe that people should do what they prefer (career v family) and not be looked down upon for their decision.

I ask questions, because, why not? I also question those who think the same.

Fighting for your dream career? And then what... work? competing with people at company? It shows you are ambitious but it doesn't mean you are going to be happy.

To be absolutely honest with you, no.

Okay the scenario has changed, still no:

1. I'm quite selfish, achieving my dreams is the biggest self-satisfaction I could ever have.

2. I'd want to live my dreams in order for my future kids to have to best possible life. Children > Partner.

3. As long is he's not inept and he has a penis, I'll live. I'm not expecting a perfect partner.

4. Perfect partner BUT living on min wage, barely able to put food on the table and the kids will suffer? No thanks. I'm selfish but not that selfish.

Sorry but I'm being honest, shot me.

Yep. It is 'subjective'.

Now get over the fact that some people choose love over careers. :P

What's more important?

Like I said, obviously that would be the best position in life, but if you HAD to choose, what would it be?

Otherwise, don't come to this thread.

Sam Hill watch out. Unless he's flopped out of the top now, haven't been keeping up Be the next Peaty

Well fair enough, we're on the same page but we just want the opposite things... opposite side of a coin?

You want the fantastic career and I want the family life, but we both agree that we shouldn't judge other's choices and force our opinions on others.

Relationship =/= happiness

*five*

Yeah, and I respect your decision and you respect mine.

All I wanted from this thread is a bit of discussion to see other people's perspectives, but as well as respecting other people's decisions in life.

I have.

Perhaps you should get over the fact that not everyone wants a bull**** family.

It is more likely to be happiness than career would be. :P In my opinion, at least.

I want family, I want someone to be there for me. :P

Once you've persued your dream, you persued your dream. That's it. Nothing else comes after that. :P

You will be proud, happy that you have achieved your goals. But it's very short term to be honest. :P

Where do you get that probability from?

I don't.

For you may be.

Oh the irony of that statement...
