It's an era where making a relationship work is a tougher job than to have an amazing career. We get so engrossed with our personal growth that we often end up neglecting other people. As a result, most of us fail to find a partner in the first place, while others face disappointment in their relationships. To avoid any unnecessary future problem, we have come up with a solution of finding partners with the similar profession or in the same industry. But love does not always happen the way we plan it. Sometimes we fall in love with someone whose career commitments are divergent.

Yes, putting profession over relationship all the time would be unfair to the partner, but it must be kept in mind that there are a few professions which indeed are more important than anything else. Here, either you have to make peace with the fact that you will always come second, or let go of what you have with your partner, but you cannot be selfish and have everything your way.
