Dating a lawyer?

hi. I was married to a lawyer, his hours are crazy. They are married to the job and you come second. All his colleagues were either divorcing or having marital difficulties. The money means nothing when u don’t have a quality of life to me being at your kids parents night or doing the odd school run is more important than money. I guess it depends on the guy, my guy was a typical arrogant lawyer and we grew apart sadly and separated and actually we still fight about his lack of engagement with the kids. I feel sorry for him to be honest, his life looks shit to me. x

I am an attorney and have dated many. If he is corporate his hours will swing around, especially if there is a closing that has to happen by a date certain. His hours will be bad if he is at a big firm. If he is in partner track, even worse. If you are needy and not at all flexible, this will not be a person for you. If you can just go with it then you will be fine. Setting rules on cancellations will backfire on you without a doubt. To me it is not concerning that you have had so few dates in that amount if time. When I did my first year, I worked 42 days straight from early morning to late at night. My ex spent many hours at a big firm taking naps at his desk because he had back to back closing a for 3 weeks.
