I Feel Judged For Not Being Career-Oriented
I’m encouraged to work with my partner
The truth is that my partner and I work in the same industry, and people have often said we should work together—we should write or create something together as a couple. They say it’d be interesting and unique. So many people have said this—I mean so many, including people who could have really moved our careers forward—that it’s clear it would have some momentum if we did it. But, we decided a long time ago not to. We want to keep our relationship pure. I never want him to be, in any way, the source of my career troubles. I don’t want to talk to him about profit margins and business plans.
