 One needs to be appropriate in
their work life as well as their
social life. There is a place for
both. |

I understand where you are coming
from on this, I think first you
have to decide what you want from
life and if you get involved then
the secret is compromise. Of
course the opposite of what you
state is also true, when I was
younger my job took me all around
the world. As I would not know
sometimes from month to month where
I would be it made things difficult
and I made a decision to not get
too involved with anybody as it was
not fair on either of us, so I made
it clear from the start of any
relationship it was only a short
term thing. This still led to
complications (for me as well
getting too involved, even though I
tried not too) so once I was ready
to give up travelling so much I
gave up that job.
Also relationships change, if
children become part of it, it does
change your perspective on work and
in some cases you have to give up
work to care for the child - again
compromise, If my wife had been
earning more I would have stopped
work and she would have carried on
- the deciding factor was that she
was made redundant whilst on
maternety leave. Going back to
another of your debates, it's about
life/work balance, its only natural
to want to spend more time with
your loved ones, I don't think it
makes you lazy though. It also
does not necasserily affect your
career, but it does make it less
important. |

Although i don't want to agree i am
forced to, as i have been part of
that. We both have great jobs and
now to keep the relationship, one
of us must quit their job and move
to the others location, so yes
sometimes a good relationship can
spoil a career.
And no it has been agreed that she
will...i live in a beautiful place
and make a lot more money...... |

 I think in a good relationship you
do want to spend more time with
that person than work but you have
to keep your job. So i don't think
being in a good relationships hurts
your job in a good relationship
your other half should be cheering
you on and helping you with the
stress off work. |

I don't totally agree. I have
given up certain things, but I
haven't gotten lazy with my career
path. I decided not to go to a far
away college, but I still want to
pursue my same dreams. |

You can still have a great
relationship, and be busy, if the
couple truly loves each other. |

If you both love each other /you
two would understand each others
priorities and try to come to an
agreedment to make it work |

In my opinion, you can have an
excellent relationship and an
excellent career at the same time.

Well wen you cant find the way out
you cant blame others, i think this
is all rubbish, nobody spoils your
career it yourself who does this
coz as you cant maintain it then
not to blame others at least. |

If you are in a good relationship
then your spouse will support your
career. |

I'd have to disagree with this one.
My career is extremely important
to me. But, I believe everyone
needs to maintain a balance in
their life, and I do. I balance
between my marriage and family,
work, friends and religion.
Instead of working late at the
office, alone, I come home and
work, with my husband at my side.
I also take him along on business
trips, and we encorporate romance
and fun in these little trips.
We're lucky and thankful to have
this balance in our life. |

I would have to disagree on this
all except the long distance part
of it me and my husband have been
together for 13 years ( married 9
years ) and we both have full time
jobs granted we love to spend
every waking moment together but
we cant because the more we are
together the more we are likely to
argue but i don't think a good
relationship effects your job in no
shape or form it only does if you
let it now a long distance
relationship would put a strain on
any one i mean it needs to be 50
/50 no matter what |

I think a good relationship can
improve all aspects of a persons
life. It makes them happy and more
productive. |

I think it CAN have such an effect,
but not necessarily. But with some
people it may have an opposite
effect in that the employee wants
to earn more to be able to provide
more for his/her loved ones. There
is also the very real possibility
that a person who is happy in their
career will be happier overall,
leading to better personal
relationships. |

No, I don't think it does. I had a
great career, and I have also been
married for 32 yrs. Now. It worked
out for me. But if its a long
distance relationship vs career
this might put a strain. It needs
to be an equal balance with the two
parties involved. Go for it. :) |

I do not quiet agree with you my
friend. You need to synchronize
your priorities. I don't mean that
relations r important or career is
important.
Both have their own importance &
priorities |
