Is it normal to put a relationship on hold till you meet your goals?

11 Comments

I am currently a student at University and I have been with my current boyfriend for two years. I have worked on political campaigns and am planning my own run for office. My plan is to run for city council in 2018, mayor in 2024, Governor in 2028, and president in 2032. Anyway, I see a relationship as a distraction to reaching my goals and told my boyfriend I think we should take a break until after the 2032 Presidential election. He told me I was crazy, but that just makes me feel like he doesn't support my dreams.

    I understand about holding off on a relationship to meet goals, but you are taking it waaaaaay too far. Waiting more than 15 years? That is insane. And what if you don't make it to mayor in 2024? What if it takes you until 2028? Or 2032? Then your whole plan is set back by YEARS!

    It is good to be thinking ahead, but with a plan that far out, that is no reason to dump your boyfriend now. It seems more like you want an excuse to break up with him because I definitely think you could make your relationship work and campaign if it were a priority to you.

    You are asking him to wait more than 15 years to be with you again, so you can be a politician. You are making an unreasonable request of him and pulling the "you don't support my dreams" card to guilt him into agreeing. That shows that you don't really care about him and his dreams, and honestly, I think both of you would be better off without the other.

    OP sounds exactly like the traditional Alpha Male. Do that shit, don't let a petty little dick hold you back. In fact it's no women for me right now until until my shit is accomplished... Well, pussy just no strings attached *smiles*

    I understand putting a relationship on hold; I made a post about that a few weeks ago actually. My boyfriend broke up with me because he's too busy to devote time to a relationship right now. Kind of a long story.

    15 years is a long time though. Y'all are better off taking a break permanently.

    It's really good that you're a dreamer. But will you take your relationship for granted? Sit back and think about it.

    You want to put your relationship on hold for SEVENTEEN (17) YEARS? Life is way too short for that.
    If you are really that unrealistic, I doubt anyone would support your run for city council, let alone a real elected office.
    You are obviously a dreamer without even one foot in the real world. Dream on.

    Keep him around and have him stuff your envelopes every so often.
