Is money or/& a career worth throwing a marriage & family away for?

Sayonara C’est La Vie asked:


A couple of flicks I’ve seen on satellite TV like “The Breakup” with Jennifer Anniston & a flick where Ben Affleck played a widower father, not wanting to be with anyone again while raising his daughter with his widower dad, because he still loved his wife that died. Which even though I haven’t been married I understand how his character felt, cause I still love a woman from before & I wouldn’t date anyone except for the fact were friends driving me nuts about it so I caved in once & wished I wouldn’t have. Anyway these flics reminded me more or less besides what I’ve gone through in my head over society’s valuation of love & marriage these days & it got me thinking I wonder how many people have an opinion on this. I know I would never throw love or family away for money, power or a career. However there’s influence from others on the world that’s easily influenced.With all the business,celebrity & other entertainment careers out there, is it worth throwing a family or love away?
So far I think it’s a bit of 3 way tie, while H***No gives a great example of proof, Pinky mentioned how meaningless success, money & fame are….”without someone to enjoy them with”, while Cynical said “family should be #1 priority” & also she said, “if more people felt that way the world wouldn’t be like it is.” So all 3 of those answers were great answers. It seems if nothing else, as sad as I am now, I should pray for H***No. H***No if you’re in pain like I think, especially if at least in as much as I am now, then I definitely have to have you in my prayers. I wouldn’t want to wish this kind of pain on any decent people at all. So H***No I feel for you. Though like I said the other 2 answers I mentioned about were great answers too.

No it isn’t. I let my career aspirations take first place and now after over 30 years the career I thought I would have never materialized and have no one to come home to. When I finally realized that my life outside of work was empty it was too late/very difficult to get into a loving, caring relationship. Looking back I would have done the opposite because finding true love is lasting but a career can end without notice in this world economy. Bottom line love is hard to find but you can always find money as someone is always looking for someone to hire. Hope that helps.

No love is way more important than money. All the way through school people have dated people then broken up with them the next day or gone out with their friend for no apparent reason and it pisses me off.
But about love or money let me put it this way what if there is no money in the world because i don’t know ,aliens force us not to, you will still have love. you should love people for who they are

no amount of money , success, or fame can replace love from your family? all these things are great but its nothing with no one to enjoy it with.

NEVER! money fame careers they all come and go but the one thing in life you will truly ever be able to depend on is the love of your family. your family should always hold #1 priority and nothing NOTHING should ever be held above that. maybe if more people felt that way the world wouldn’t be like it is!
