No, but I don't want the person I love to do that either.

Plenty. I have no problem living my life single (which isn't alone)

No, I have no desire to waste time sitting on a beach.
I'll still have friends, but I like eating out alone too.
No, that wastes electricity.

No, I go on vacation alone all the time. I love it. I spent two weeks in Asia last December. Great time. Did Peru the year before.
And no, most people I know aren't with their families. They're with their friends, that is who I spend my holidays with.

I have and have had many, thank you. The worst times in my life were when I was unemployed or I hated my job. THE WORST. That's living hell. First things first: financial self sufficiency and doing a job I love.
You guys who choose career - you never really loved before.
Does your face light up every morning when you walk into your office? I am excited every single day when I see my partner and can hardly hold back a huge smile.

Yes, actually my face DOES light up when I walk into my office. I get along with my colleagues and I really enjoy doing my job. Partners may or may not do that for me.
Job doesn't spoil me, and neither did any of the men I was with, so non-issue.
Yes, job does give me a nice warm fuzzy feeling.. GAINFULLY employed, YES!
Oh hell no, no one touches my feet! And I cook my own meals, so far no male has cooked and not leave a kitchen-ful of crap for me to clean up after. If you cook AND clean after, then we might have something there.
I talk to my friends thanks.. that's what friends are for!
I have vacations with my friends and family. The last time I vacationed with a guy, he refused to do anything other than sit in the hotel for most of the day. So, uh.. no. I have better vacations with people who enjoy to be with me and vice versa. Oh, and I have auto-timers set up to turn on lights when I get home. Hehe.
And for most of it, I am not dependent on having someone in my life. I think I am a rarity in that respect, I ENJOY my time alone or with friends and family. Having a sig-other is a nice thing, but I feel like I'm always taking care of them.
So at this point in my life, absolutely.. career > love

You logic is super flawed.
No my face does not light up when I walk into an office. However, my face very rarely lights up anyway.
My job don't spoil me on days I don't feel well, but any woman who'd be living with me would be out working so she'd not spoil me either.
My job does not give me a warm feeling, nothing does.
My job does not massage me but I relax through vaping and drinking after a long day at work not massages.
My job don't listen to me vent, I would never subject someone to a long night of verbal b$&@$ing. What do you think yall on CD is for?
$100k is worth $100k single or married. They should sober this in economics classes.
I like going alone to restaurants. I usually get my crap to go anyway.
I come home to a light on because I leave it on or it is still sunlight when I get home.
I like my vacations being alone.
It sucks being alone on holidays, that is what my vape and alcohol is for.
Yes, actually my face DOES light up when I walk into my office.
Mine does, too. Or, rather, did, when I was working. Now in in grad school full-time, and, yeah, my face DOES light up when I walk into the classroom. And when I'm reading, and when I'm writing papers, for that matter. I love what I do.
It also lights up when I get to spend quality time with my husband.
It's confusing to me that people seem to think that it's a one-or-the-other proposition, here. You don't really have to choose. You can have good relationships and a good career. For real.

Relationships can suck too BTW.
Just curious Dissenter did you say you are going to grad school?
On topic, yes relationships can suck but not all of them.
I agree get a decent career and a relationship can be better.
Just like the song,"They say the best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds and the bees, I need money, that's what I want.......thhhhhat's what I want."
However love can exist with or without money.
And like oh-eve said, when you do have love it is excellent. You are in the best of health when you are in love.
You are in the best of health when you are in love.
It's like no other thing.
Eh.
I believe what research more commonly indicates is that you are in the best of health when you are HAPPY. For some, that may involve being in a good relationship. For others, they may be happy independent of that.
Also, bear in mind that being "in love" may or may not = being in a good, healthy relationship.
