I can understand that sentiment. I have never been divorced and so I would not even be able to say that I relate to where you are coming from. I think that it is necessary for the other person to be willing to sacrifice things to help you achieve your dreams... that is part of love. And if they aren't willing to sacrifice then you are right, they should be out the door...and I don't know if I'd shed a tear in that case. I probably wouldn't feel like they deserved it.
You do know they won't pump out by themselves, right?My career goals are the most important to me.
But in my case, I don't have any particular love interest competing with that desire, and I feel no burning need to pass my genes along.
Of course, all of that could change in a flash if my body starts pumping out those love chemicals.

Guilty as charged. Opinions and advice are just that, and we should take them all with a grain of salt.Everyone has different priorities. As human beings I think we tend to force our priorities on other people and when they deviate from those norms we become confused/angry. And Amwatts, sorry about earlier I didn't mean to be rude and go back and forth with you.
A very wise decision.HumidBeing said:Yeah, so I'll just avoid talking to random female lawyers when I fly.
Just like Zyvox said, everyone has different priorities. I, for one, don't put much stock in "Darwinian Fitness."Isn't it ironic that the people society deems most successful (hotshot lawyers, doctors, professors, entrepreneurs, etc.) are the ones who spend the most time working, the least time raising kids and thus the least successful in evolutionary terms. Yet the people who are declared social bums (crack mothers with 8 kids, etc.) are by far more successful in what actually matters for the species.

haha same here, well except I was one of 5....I dont think there was crack involved, but I may be mistaken hahaI know from personal experience that's not necessarily so. (Me + 7 siblings = 1 parent professional who works mega hours away from home + 1 parent works mega hours watching us like a hawk) No crack involved.

YOU CALLING MY MOTHER A CRACK HO?!?!?!I guess you never know hehe jk
Obviously I was making a VERY general statement, but you get the point.
You hope to meet a girl that understands you. You shouldn't have to give up your dreams because your significant other.
Like many posters before me said, if she understands, she's worth keeping. If she doesn't understand, well, she's probably not the one.
