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

But this is my fantasy!

What if I get fired from my dream job?

People don't get fired for no reason.

Yes.

My aunt had to become a full-time carer after my uncle got diagnosed with MS. I hope that I'd be able to show that kind of devotion.

Unpredictable natural disaster wipes out the company.

On the other hand, I wouldn't want to spend my whole life being a full-time carer.

Is this a thinly veiled attack questioning my workplace competence?

OH YOU

Why?

Sometimes things don't go the way you want them to. I'd rather care for someone who makes me endlessly happy, as the perfect partner would, than leave them to rot in a hospital ward somewhere because I walked out.

I'd rather avoid that situation by focusing on my career.

On a thread where you get the choice between your perfect partner or your perfect career? Pfft

I'd rather not work a 9-5, come home to an empty house and watch tv until I sleep and wake up to the next inevitable day of paperwork-filled monotony.

So your dream career is "working 9-5" and doing "papework-filled monotony"?

You're hardly ambitious, are you?

I want enough money to live comfortably. That's the extent of my aspirations now because I'm simply too young to know what I want to do as a career. I do, however, know that I want to have the most wonderful person with me.

I'm a realist. Work is never fun. Playing videogames with your boyfriend is fun. You only get one life, and it's very fleeting. I'd rather spend it playing games with the boyf.

I'm younger than you, and I know my aspirations. Don't blame your age, hun.

"Work is never fun"? In your opinion. If you want a job that's boring, of course it will "never [be] fun".

Yeah, we only get one life. If I want to spend that life working, who are you to tell me it's fleeting or not?

I'd consider a life playing games with the boyfriend (euphemism?) very "fleeting".
