[quote=Anonymous]When I was starting out I wouldn't have gotten serious about anyone if the relationship would prevent me from pursuing my own path: no PhD students who might have to to to West Tuscaloosa State for a post doc; no international transplants working in NGOs or government temporarily; no one who planned to work Wall Street hours; most sadly, a wonderful Marine who wasn't ready to leave active duty. That was the toughest one but I'm not cut out to be a military spouse who moves constantly and lives through multiple deployments in constant fear. Turns out if I'd chosen love with that one our marriage would have been about Iraq and Afghanistan for a decade. I hope he found someone incredible who deserves him. Now that I'm married I wouldn't choose a job over family but I married someone whose life plans weren't incompatible with my own. [/quote]
