"My boyfriend of more than two years hates that I am a journalist. He is constantly complaining about the long hours I work and the small salary I take home. Financially, we don?t really need my income, and I am paid a decent amount given that I am a reporter. But still we fight a lot about my job. I am just wondering if anyone out there has been through anything similar. Is it possible to love someone who hates that you are a journalist?"
