Had a love story before I stepped into PA. Then talked my lover into PA (advisory) as well. Now we are perfectly busy and only spend weekends together. Lol

hey. not EVERYONE is single. it just helps to fall in love with someone who grew up with a parent in a similar high-stress, cyclical-busy-season, white collar job to temper their relationship expectations....

Thanks but if I were a kid grew up with a parent you described above, I probably would never date someone with that job... my relationship expectations would be something like “I want to have a family with 9-6 job”

My husband and I are total opposites. He is an artist and rarely works overtime. We met after college before I decided to go to grad school for accounting.

Before I met him, I had no ambition and no long term plan. We struggled financially early on, mainly because I didn’t pull my weight.

Eventually, I got my life together, went to grad school, and found I was pretty good at my job. The long hours are rough, but both of us still remember a time where I had no future, and we struggled financially. This is infinitely better .

My husband wants to add:

“From a spouse’s perspective the truth is you can’t and won’t maintain your relationship. You will want to be present and experience things that you won’t. Likewise, your future partner will want you around and will feel neglected.

The person you end up with will need to be an independent person that is capable of handling long periods of alone time. You’ll need to find someone that recognizes you don’t work the hours because it’s a blast, you do it for your professional benefit. You’ll need to find someone that understands their hours have no bearing on how you feel about them.

Most importantly you and your future partner will need to understand the company could care less the impact the hours have on you and your personal life. This will take a ton of effort on you and your future partner's part but it can be done. You’ll need to set boundaries and limits and know when to put him/her first and your partner will need to know when you absolutely can’t and forgive."

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

Hi Everyone, I need your opinion.
I met a girl 2 months into my 6month exchange in NYC. I enjoyed her company and we had fun together. She is really busy (IB) but we made time for each other. so it was late night and weekend hangout. When i was leaving to my home country in UK, we said we would try to make it work. Now that i am home, it has become difficult. I have lots of friends (girls), therefore i am always with them when not working, and she doesn't like it much as my ex is among (TBC)
