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

I probably would, not many find their absolute perfect partner in their lifetime, and the chance to have that is priceless

If you have to give up your dream for them they're obviously NOT the perfect partner. Surely for someone to be the *Perfect* partner they should help you reliase your dream?

But in all honesty my dream is wishy washy crap; to have kids. i could not be with someone who wouldn't have kids. so, again, they would not be the perfect parter if they didn't want a family.

You do realise what this is from, right?

House is....arguably one of the best in his profession, fictionally of course. But he still gets love and hot girls.

Best of both worlds. no facepalm necessary.."im so academic"

This. Love lasts beyond death, but you won't be able to take your money with you when you die.

Does this perfect partner stay perfect forever? What if I change and the partner who was once perfect no longer seems perfect... Hmm. Perfect future and career.

Good point, it may feel "lovey-dovey" at first, but gain a sense of perspective! People change. Whereas you have total control of your career.

To state the parameters of this question (as it could be interpreted in different ways):

*Pretend you have not experienced your dream/future/career, i.e. to be an investment banker or to travel around the world. So it is NOT a case of "yeah, when I'll give up my career half-way through". No, it's one or the other.

*Your dream or whatever cannot be finding "true love" or "happiness" or any of that wishy-washy crap. Just definite and specific goals. No emotions included, it has to be an actual goal.

*To reiterate once again, it is a ONE or the OTHER choice. No best of both worlds in this case.

I edited this bit as people are going down the "compromise" route, i.e. they'll take the perfect partner with a not so perfect career. So the situation is changed. NO compromise. It's:

*Perfect partner + ****/no career
*Perfect career + ****/no partner

Also, no exploiting any loopholes.

Thanks. Interested in your opinions.

What prompted you to ask this question?

Just a question that interested me. Because I know what I would do, so wanted to listen to other people's opinions.

lol my friends thinks im an idiot because i do realise it!
i shouldn't be laughin should i(?) ahhh well! i love money!

I'd be screwed either way. Whichever I picked I'd regret it.

Interestingly, you're pretty much the first person to make that judgement.

Surely whatever you pick, you would always think "what if?" with regards to the other option?
