Startup vs Girlfriend
lief79: First, you should be talking to her, not us. You need to come up with an idea of what you are expecting to do with your life first, but if you want a relationship to last, it's going to be all about compromise.You're trying to decide what's most appropriate for both of you, and what kind of balance you are willing to strike.Will either of you be happy with you working 60 hours during the week, and trying to make the most of the remaining time with her?  Is there a realistic balancing point that should work for both you?Is it a matter of taking one or two nights a week, scheduling the time with her, and making it top priority no matter what comes up with work?  If not, how much time would work? Does it still leave you time to recharge to keep it sustainable?Most importantly, how does the idea of setting time aside from the start-up to dedicate it to your girl friend sound to you?  If you aren't looking forward to it, then you probably already know what you need to know ... you just need to admit it to yourself.I wish you luck in making the right choices, as you're asking about life changing decisions.
