Well, let's be honest here; it really depends on the job she has, for example if she is an anesthesiologist is exponentially easier to support her partner than if she has a low-paying job like barista or something alike.

it's not only about the money young fella. A long and uncertain project without any income like that is a tough sell for any relationship.

You say it's not about the money, but then you mention income again. What is it about then?

Lots of things - ambition, status, judgement from others, resentment that you’re not able to do the same.

Money is probably a prerequisite to being able to do that at all, but it’s not the entire deal.

Yes, I saw that. But saying something like that and then mentioning nothing but money (income) is a little confusing.

A friend of mine quit his job as a software developer to become a full time dance music producer— his girlfriend is a doctor, though, so it wasn’t a huge burden to support him for the three years it took for him to start getting paid.

Even anesthesiologists need quality time with this partner
