Had a chick dump me for the same reason maybe 10 or so years ago.

Retired now with sh!tloads of free time.

If someone isn't willing to make the sacrifice with you, fuk em.

This. Bunch of unmotivated, low test phucks in here, lol. Phucking lol @ you're going to kill yourself for working hard in your 20's. Explains why 95% of them will always be losers.

When you're 40, bald, single, have heart disease and look like you're 60 because of working 80 hour weeks, tell me how "great" your decision was.

thats how a failure in life like you thinks..... but again , im happy people like you exist.... cause later on in life .. you and your children will be getting burgers for me and my children

keep hustling brah

I'm actually 40, in a happy relationship, no kids, have ****ed well over 100 girls in my life, full head of hair, in great shape, no health issues, decent savings account. Am I retired? No, but I'm happy and healthy and have not forfeited the prime of my life, 20-40, literally slaving for a dollar. I love the guys that spend their entire lives slaving to retire at 50 then realize their cock doesn't work too well, their wife and kids hate them, and then die 10 years later from heart disease. Bad move.

dude, youre 40 , and still talk like a teen

have ****ed well over 100 girls
full head of hair
their wife and kids hate them


honest to god, thats the first time i hear a 40 year old talks the way you do.

Different strokes for different folks. Just because it’s demanding doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy my job. And I work with great people. Like I said, trade off. Each person decides the path they want to follow. No need to put other peoples choices down because they don’t fit with your ideal lifestyle.

My 2 cents

It’s not the reason she ended it. A girl that wants to be with you will move mountains to make it happen.

Another guy in the picture/you don’t make her gina tingle.

Brutal but true.

That's great if you love your job and all, but do you plan on cutting those hours down eventually or retiring early working all the hours? Because if it's the latter, it'll be hard to start a family and raise your children. That's if you want those things. Women need constant love and attention, so it'll be tough for you to find a girlfriend okay with those kinds of hours. And maybe she will seem okay with it, then eventually fuk another guy behind your back because the loneliness got to her. Just sayin

It’s the nature of the industry. As an analyst you work 80 hours a week give or take, and you get compensated very well in total (terrible hourly rate though, never calculate it). But your hours do decline as you move up in the industry while your pay dramatically increases.

Long story short, no, it is not forever. But what I am doing, and will continue to do can and will set me up financially for the rest of my life at a much earlier age than most. So, there are merits to the path I have chosen, if you are willing to make the sacrifices. And I have chosen to, not everyone will agree with it and that is fine

Work till 10pm and then back to work at 5am? Bro id kill myself with that schedule .. Srs

I start work at 8am and leave on average between 10-12pm. Sometimes I leave at 8pm, sometimes 2am. Fluctuates.

I workout every day after work for about an hour and 15 minutes. Then go home sleep.

Fridays usually off by 7pm, Saturdays and sundays as needed. Sometimes I don’t work weekends, other times I do. Probably 8 hours between the two days on average.

I understand how tough my lifestyle is currently and can’t expect someone to stick by me through it. You just think you find someone who cares for you enough to battle through it with you but, all good. No hard feelings.

End game? Not sure. Takes a toll mentally but it’s essentially the most lucrative finance career you can get and I make very good money. Stick with it, hours will get better and you can definitely set yourself up for your future in a way most people can’t.

Like all things, it’s a trade off. Sacrifice. Is it worth it? I don’t know

I work in Investment Banking. 80 hours a week is the normal average I do and that won’t change for a long time.

I understand how that could be hard for someone so, I guess a relationship just isn’t right for me at the moment.

She was honest, and she is doing what she thinks is best for herself and her emotions and I respect that.

Just as you all have said, will NC and move on. Don’t think she said that because she is seeing someone else but I can’t really know for sure.

If you're smart & hard working enough for IB, why not do something else? I never understood this mindset. If you can get into IB, surely you can make good money doing whatever you're passionate about and work less hours.

Unfortunately, no. Not this kind of money at this age. Unless you start your own business and it just booms, even that would take a few years. Generally, people only do IB for a few years. Make a **** ton of money and save lots then bounce to another high paying job with less hours. Gotta pay your dues before you get rewarded with work life balance

What are your daily duties? What do IB guys do all day?

Well, girl I’ve been seeing for a while ended things today. She said she could no longer handle my 80 hour a week work hours and the fact that I work a lot of weekends.

It’s difficult for us to see each other during the week because of my hours and the fact that she lives like 30 minutes outside downtown, where I work and live.

I told her that my feelings for her were bigger than those inconveniences and we could get through it, she said it hurt her heart too much that it was so hard for us to see each other and it was really weighing on her. And, she wasn’t ready to love anyone or be loved by anyone as she has been through a lot in previous relationships. Sucks that she basically said I wasn’t worth it, that she didn’t want to get through the inconvenience of our schedule with me but it is what it is.

Hurts pretty bad, especially because she was the first girl I really let into my heart in a long time as I have always been really afraid of getting hurt like this so I generally have always kept things casual with women and tried having a rotation. She was different and I thought we could really have something great.

Unfortunately, didn’t work out that way. Gonna go back to guarding my heart and just seeing multiple women as I can’t really handle this kind of hurt in my life on a regular basis, already stressed enough as is.

She said she still cares about me deeply and wants me in her life but I can’t do that. Would hurt me too much.
****ty situation, but that’s life. Time to move on and go back to the bachelor lifestyle. Onwards and upwards fellas. Take everything as a learning experience and use it to be better and stronger than you were the day before
