"Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly cutting back some of her career commitments to put her family as top priority. (She even says she&amp;amp;#8217;d lose her marriage if she didn&amp;amp;#8217;t!) The star&amp;amp;#8217;s decision to pick her relationship over her career got me thinking about the last time the topic came up with a boyfriend&amp;amp;#8212;it ended up turning into a blowout argument. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s what happened: A few years ago, I was in my first internship out of college, busting my butt to turn the gig into a full-time job. I was working super-long hours for the most demanding boss I&amp;amp;#8217;d ever had, and the overtime was cutting into quality time with my guy, whom I&amp;amp;#8217;d been with for a year. He was upset that I was so focused on building my career and that personal time sometimes slipped to the backburner. As the fight transpired in my tiny bathroom, we realized that we didn&amp;amp;#8217;t see eye-to-eye about job-time versus relationship-time. We broke up a few months later, and I&amp;amp;#8217;m pretty sure the fact that I was willing to slug through crazy hours to keep my dream job was just one of the things that helped do us in for good. So, what about you? Have your career goals ever gotten in the way of a relationship? Have you and a BF ever broken up because you weren&amp;amp;#8217;t on the same page about work versus personal time? We&amp;amp;#8217;ve talked a lot about having one or the other&amp;amp;#8212;do you think there&amp;amp;#8217;s a way to maintain BOTH your dream job and a great relationship? P.S.
