Moment I've Always Dreaded: Career Versus Love by debqueen(f): 11:50am On Nov 13, 2007 |
As a young,single profession,I av always dreaded a time when I'll av 2 choose between my career n love.I just got a job in d same company as my boyfriend.D pay is good n d conditions are OK for me 2 grow as an advertising practitioner.The snag is dat my b/f wants us 2 call off our relationship because one of us has 2 resign if we hav 2 get married.I had applied 2 this company ever b4 we met nd this opportunity is a once in a long time one.I really dont kno wat 2 deduce from his reasoning since we arnt in d same branch.Who said he cant get another job as an engineer?Am kinda shocked because ther was no emotion in his voic when he said we should break up. How do I handle d fact dat we may run into each otha from time 2 time? |

then forget him. what makes you think he will still stay with you. two months is nothing compared to a life time. |

My Gosh! This is your call! If you can get something similar in another establishment, good and fine, if not, you might have to keep marriage away for as long as possible until you get another offer. |

@ Poster. I really dont know how old you are, but you really dont sound "overtimed" to me. I take it that you are still quite young. If am wrong, please forgive me. It's very difficult to have a relationship going on when the partners work for the same firm. I will strongly suggest you heed your bf's suggestion of of putting a stop to the "beer" you guys are brewing. Moreover, the way you described your bf doesnt really suggest that he truly cares about you. And the relationship is still so young (2 months)! Doesn't he know you applied for the job before you guys started? Just put a stop to it and get yourself a real man. And never get into a serious relationship at work except if you want just a fling and one night stuff thing. Congratulations on your new appointment. |

baby, i hope ur day has been nice. As for your boyfriend, why would he want you to stop work in less than 2 months of being together?without any real commitment but come to think of it even if there is to be some level of commitment is there no way around it than for u to stop work?you know what i think? maybe he has a relationship with somebody in the firm that he does not want you to get to know about and since he says that u have to resign for your relationship to lead to marriage why not wait till when you have started talking marriage to suggest it and who says he cannot be the one resigning and getting another job while you stay put. Girlfriend from the way you sounded, you are the giver in this relationship for him to even imagine you will want to give up your job for him. think about your future and the fact that you are not as sure as this guy as you are of the job and men dont appreciate needy women.this is a chance a thousand and one ladies are praying and fasting about and you are here considering giving it up for a man that is not your God. plssssssssssssssss i know you are joking sha as you cant be serious |

Its really unfortunate that it has 2 b dis way but a guy who wld witout battin an eye ask u 2 break up wit him because u both got jobs in d same firm n blives one of u wld have 2 resign if u decide 2 marry is really not worth ur time. So hard as it is u r beta off searchin 4 someone who doesnt think dat his job is more of a priority dan u. |
