[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just turned 33 and recently ended a 1.5 year relationship. He broke it off. I am a currently work 80+ hours a week. I am a little terrified I will end up 40 and still single. [b]How do I look for a husband while working 80+ hours a week?[/b] My ex-boyfriend is a colleague, and majority of the people I work with are already married or have major deal breakers. My biggest caveat is I still undecided if I want children. [/quote]

Do you really work 80 hour weeks, every week? Taken literally, that's over 13 hours per day, 6 days per week.

Is it possible to get your career to a point where you can go on "cruise control" for a few years while you focus on your personal life? [/quote]

It is totally possible to work that many hours a week. I've spent the past 4.5 years putting that number of hours in. I work in a law related field and the cases have deadlines and there are billable hours and even though it may take 16 hours to complete a task I might only get credit for 4 - 6 hours of work.

I'm a man, but I managed to find someone to date and marry while working those hours. It was long distance and we met over the internet. She was also starting her career and working crazy hours. We texted, emailed, and put the phones on conference call while we worked. We would meet for a weekend here and there and longer over holidays. We "dated" like that for 2.5 years and got married last fall.

She was the ideal person to date at that time in my life because she was not local. We both has structural issues that prevented us from doing traditional weekend dating. If she was local and wanted me to be available during the week or weekends the relationship would not have worked.[/quote]
