[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you're talking about marriage, I would think hard about a few things: Are you planning on pursuing your own career? If your spouse is planning on going the academic route, I sure hope you have portable job, because there is absolutely no guarantee where your DH will end up until he gets tenure. The term is "trailing spouse" -- Google it and you'll come up with some good things to read. Is your spouse going to spend all his time in the lab? If you're at home, a SAHM, with no DH around, and in a new town it can be really lonely. What if DH doesn't t gets tenure? Would he be willing to go into industry? Or is he expecting you to come along for a longer ride with little economic certainty? How will/does DH take into account your passions and ambitions? A lot of academic men, I'm afraid, are extremely self-centered while giving lot of lip service to gender equality.[/quote]
