been dating a teacher for 6 months. she makes 55k. i make 340k.
the comp gap is irrelevant. heres what matters:
- she doesnt know or care what LC is
- dinner conversations are about books, travel, and life
- she thinks its weird that i work past 6pm. so now i dont
- she has perspective on real problems that make my work problems feel trivial
- she reminded me that life exists outside of tech twitter

this is beautiful and true. my partner is a nurse and she single handedly grounded me

the comp gap gets tricky long term though. are you splitting expenses proportionally?

"she thinks its weird that i work past 6pm" this is the key. non-tech partners have normal expectations about work hours

counterpoint: dating someone in tech has its own benefits. they understand your stress and passion. both can work
