From reading this thread, many of you are going to be pouring your hard work and money into alimony payments from your many failed future marriages if you don't change your attitudes.
It's pretty myopic to believe that your profession is the most important or even the only dream one may have. Having a spouse, a stable home, and children are all dreams as well. Who says that they aren't at least as important as following your dream career? If you're of the mindset that "I'll work 100+ hours per week because I want to do, it's my dream, and screw everyone else, especially my nagging spouse" then do the world and your future kids a favor, and don't have them, please.
PS- It's not just anecdotal that some of the most misguided and angst-ridden children come not just from poor or abusive families, but also from families where their parents "work hard" to earn a lot of money, but fail miserably as parents.
