If that’s the cost right now, then that makes sense! But be cautious when letting those relationships know what you’re truly after and don’t leave on a sour note. Seasons change and when you finally reach the top of that mountain but feel lonely… you know why.
I stopped planning my wedding because I couldn’t give the needed focus to both that and my career. I chose my career. Thankfully my mother stepped in and brought it all together (I was in the crunch time leading up to wedding). She knew what I needed and just stepped in to give me the space. I’ve excelled and had several strong promotions since.
My boss knows that I need a little chaos and sometimes special projects outside of my role fill that bucket. He throws me opportunities and also puts me in situations to further my career- like conferences or special events. He knows I’m his pinch hitter and that I will pull it together no matter what.
If your relationship/partner is telling you that they cannot stay based on your work ethic- there is an issue. But if you can maintain balance you’ll likely be happier in the long run. It can be quick to move ahead but it will be lonely standing at the top alone too!
