I have a friend who put her career on hold after she got married and had children. She stayed at home until the oldest was four years old, _56_ she began doing part-time jobs to get out of the house. That wasn't enough, so she took a full-time job, which _57_ her to travel. She was making more money than her husband, even _58_ four years off the market. Her in-laws, who believe a woman's only function is housekeeping, _59_ to her husband with their negative opinions. Emotionally torn (受折磨的), he wanted to _60_ his wife but was conditioned by loyalty (忠实) to his parents' ideals. Naturally, his wife also felt _61_, eager to purse her vision but emotionally invested in her husband and family.
I _62_ her to go with her vision, because it's her life. Too many women give up their career dreams to _63_ a relationship. That's traditional, but it can _64_ you crazy. And some dreams, if you don't purse them in time, will pass you _65_. When you're finally free to go _66_ them, you've _67_ the window of opportunity. After further discussion, her husband went along, _68_ he valued the relationship as much as she did.
Conversely (相反地), a former student, whose husband felt _69_ by her earning more money than he did, ended her _70_ consulting practice and gave up a six-figure income. To _71_ conflict in her relationship, she abandoned her passion. Maybe she should have abandoned her husband's _72_ thinking and surrounded herself instead with people who believed in her.
A relationship must be mutually _73_, and any genuine relationship will adjust to change. When you recognize that a relationship is putting out your fire, ask yourself _74_ you should gracefully go away and realize your dreams. Communicate how much your vision means to you, do it in a relationship-friendly _75_, and the people in your life will surprise you.
