Only you can answer that question. Her job is demanding. She's being straight with you. If you really want to be with her, you have to accept her career. To do otherwise (stay and eventually become resentful) will only cause bitterness between you. Be impressed that she is so successful rather than take it personally. Don't punish her for her ambition. You will have to find your own interests instead of waiting on her from day to day. Be secure enough in yourself to be without her. If you really can't handle it, then perhaps there is a deeper issue between you and you should move on. Only you can decide that. Being a reporter doesn't mean she shouldn't or can't have a good relationship. It doesn't doom her to everlasting singledom. Chances are, if you break up with her because of her career, she will eventually move on and find someone who CAN accept her for who she is, career and all.

That is a question that can only be answered by you, But if you feel that this woman is the one than maybe you should just offer her your understanding and support because maybe in time you two will be very happy together, If it was me and i wanted to be with that person than i would do what i could to make it easier on them, If you pressure her and express what you want the whole time she wont app that and you will end up loosing her. Just be there for her and she can be there for you 2, see what happens, give your self's time and the chance that you both deserve........hope this has helped and good luck

Get a life. Be happy. Find someone that will put you first in her life. When she's on her death bed she's not going to wish she had worked more. Break up...you can always get back together if you want. If not, see what else is out there. There are more fish in the sea. You will get what you settle for.

Only you know the real answer to that question. It seems she has listed her top priority. It's possible she will land a better job as a news reporter and her job won't be as demanding. Patience is a virtue.

She should still spend some time with you - no matter how demanding the job is - her job will always be that way, if she can not fit you into her schedule and you can not deal with thingd the way they are then leave now while it can still be civilised. It takes two to have a relationship

Relationships are about putting people in a position to be happy. If you love someone would you ask them to choose between you and their aspirations? Do you want someone to ask you to choose between them and something important? You need to ask yourself what's important to you and decide if this person can fulfill that need. I know its tough, but life is about making decisions that's good for you in the long run. I think you really need to think about this thoroughly because when something is over, its alot different than thinking about ending something. Its easy to quit when things are hard, but all I can say is focus on quality time as opposed to quantity. And if her free time is not meant for you, than yes you should think of ending it.

no, I think you should be happy that you have a woman that has a career. Maybe you two could make the most of the time that you have. Me and my husband work seperate shifts it really does bite.
