true, the only thing you can judge is whether it's working for them or not - znufrii Mar 11, 08:04 3

I forgot that offering opinions here about questions asking for opinions equates to judging - oblique Mar 11, 08:03 16

  - I guess saying "I, peronsally" or "In my life" isn't enough of a clue that I'm speaking of my own opinions -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:05 12

    - hate to drag this out but... of course you say it's your choices, which everyone respects. but you don't discuss the person in question's choices, - Andie Mar 11, 08:07 10
      - In this specific case, it's pretty much a given that he's made a wrong choice if it is causing a problem in his marriage (to whatever degree) - oblique Mar 11, 08:10 9
        
        what if, as Andie said, his career requires it? Many of them do. Maybe it's a career he loves. - loosilu Mar 11, 08:15 8
        
        either her or the careeer in this case - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 08:25
        
        He'd lead with "I need to for my job" instead of "Look at the money." -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 08:20
        
        As I said, *I* personally wouldn't choose to put my career before my wife or my family -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:17 5
        
        I get that. I'm saying maybe HE didn't make the wrong choice. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 08:18 4
        
        If it is causing a problem in his marriage, then I believe he did -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:19 3

        In what? Marrying him? Sorry, it's a two way street. You find the place in the middle where both can live happily -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:23 1
        
        Put it another way. My brother is a doctor. - loosilu Mar 11, 08:26
- no, that's not it at all. your opinion is as valid as anyone elses, but you imply he's wrong to have different values. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 08:04
