Would you date someone who's married to their profession? (38)
gsmonks: This poll is about dating professional people whose careers can be highly time-consuming: nurses, doctors, lawyers, businesspeople, artists and musicians, politicians, police, fire, ambulance, etc.
Could you withstand the hours, the schedule, having to emotionally support someone whose attention is elsewhere much of the time?

I agree with Carena, great poll. As for me, yes I would because I would go into the dating field knowing full well what she did for a living. I understand that she could be called away at odd times when a need should arise. But most importantly, she would know that I would be there for her.Could you withstand the hours, the schedule, having to emotionally support someone whose attention is elsewhere much of the time?

Thanks! I was a bit hesitant about posting is, thinking it's either been posed a million times before, and I simply wasn't aware of it, or that the topic might end up being divisive.
Oh, well. We live and learn!

dating the person.... is really tough... the worst is to persuade him ( in my case "him"...) I do not need anything and have no demands, to force him to separate his working time and leisure time... and try to steal a bit space and time for ourselves....geeze... I know so much about, I should write handbook

Yours is the kind of response I was HOPING to hear from people. It's funny, but you just never know who's going to be supportive and/or tolerant, or not. Heh- I wonder if we have any nurses on the site who might like your comment?

Yes, because I don't need constant endless attention from one person and I like to have time to do my own stuff.

It's funny you should say that, because many people I know who are married to career people say just what you said.

I married a workaholic who walked talked and lived his profession did my head in
trouble he was a loving caring man which is what made the marriage last as long as it did. I hope I never meet another one like him again people like that can't relax or enjoy time out or holidays they are so driven by thier careers 
Never to have woken up and smelt the roses 
I feel sad for them.

I had the same experience. Could never get him to take time off work. Our holidays meant going on different flights his an hour later than mine because of work. He used to bring his laptop to bed daily, come home and bury himself in his laptop. I am a professional myself but I was never married to my profession. His emotional neglect left me with severe depression. Never again.

too bad the both of you experienced this.
I am sorry for that.
I work irregular hours myself and find it hard to find someone too. so, I guess I am on the other side of the fence here.I am really not married with my job...but it's the nature of it that keeps me away from home some nights.
but I believe that if the persons involved make good plans, it will work out just fine. communication is the key word here I guess. In a way, it is a LDR.
having said that, I think peeps should know on forehand what they get themselves involved in, when they start something.
because it is very hard sometimes....having to go to work when you know peeps at home depend on your everytime presence.

How on earth did you get together if he was like that? If you don't mind my asking, is this a pattern of behaviour that evolved over time?

haha..
now this conversation made me think about what a relationship between people would be, if they are both married to their profession?
a good one I think.....
never fights or arguements...because no one will be ever at home
