Is more important a job than a relationship?

[Anonymous]

I have always be attrackted to men that are independet, that work hard and that have goals because I consider myself in the same terms. In fact, I find unappealing someone who do not have strong character because I want to admire my partner and I not be with a guy that tells me I'm intimidating.

But that also came with some issues: My LT relationship (8 years) ended (in part) because my ex pursued a PHD in Germany; my second relationship was a LD and ended because he returned to his homeland to study a masters degree. Now, the guy I'm dating can see me a few hours every week, even less, because a lot of projects.

I understand and cherish those dreams and effort, I have been there myself (I just finished my own master degree, got an excellent job opportunity and I'm thinking of trying a second one overseas), but I also feel dissapointed: in spite of all that work I have always tried to manage my time in order to be availabe while they always might have a tigher schedule and needed to cancell or give me less time.

Yesterday the guy I'm dating, shared with me 3 hours and returned to work althought I traveled 3 hours in a bus to meet him close to his place so he might have more space to be with me.

Is More important a job than a relationship? Should I be more understandable?

As someone with a master's and doing projects and planning for Ph. D. It's true that I will goona put my career first. I know a lot of guys of my age or more, who are also serious, are in serious relationships or married.
But that's not true for me, I never had a girlfriend in my life. I never had much good response from girls, always got friend-zoned, taken advantage of, rejected. I don't know if I will ever get love. Women always go for always fun, non-serious, party-type guys, when they are young. I will not leave my career behind for any woman, chances are she will leave me for another guy but my career never will.

I think you just need to figure out what you want most. If you want more time with a partner then you just need someone a little less busy or closer to you.

Or you become less busy. Unless you prefer work to a relationship. Something has to compromise either way.

For me, my job is more important, but that's a personal preference

Everyone has their own priorities. I never thought a job was more important than a relationship but that is my own opinion. I think I am ambitious (I have 2 Masters Degrees) but a job is just a way to make money to fund my life and not a life in itself. My wife and family are much more important to me.
