Hypothetical question for xalimos

[Doctor farxaan]

Would u consider being in a relationship with a marine engineer if he was at seas for six months and home six months? It’s a well paying job btw.

 

[QueenSamaale]

How good is the pay?


Jk, as long as we dont have children. If children are involved then naturally he should work close by.

Unfortunately no.

 

[QueenSamaale]

Unfortunately no.

I would have said no, but my merciful side got the best of me.

Tbh, working far away from home has a lot of cons. I personally wish that if I ever got married my husband works close by or we work together overseas.

Six months at sea? I would start wondering if a shark ate him.

I wouldn't want to keep my husband from having a good paying job. But family life is more important.

To start of 6500 dollars
after a few years it could go up to 15000 dollars a month

My plan was to work on ships a few years and then find a company or open my own.

What if it was temporary as in just a few years?

That's good. Do remember that life isn't all about money. Many women would rather their husbands to stay close to them with less pay than having to miss them for 6 months.

Best of luck to you or the person who aspires to be a marine engineer!

Masha Allah you seem ambitious.
If its temporary and will help a lot then I will accept even if it's hard. As long as we find a way in the futur of course. 6 months is a lot for a couple. But I will support my husbands ambitions. It can't go on for too too long though. Especially if we have kids. They need a father figure when they are young.

I'm sure you will make them proud and happy . The most important thing is communication. As long as you have that with your wife/future wife everything will be fine. Good luck !

Six months to myself and the bills are paid?

Seriously would u?

If you're considering becoming a marine engineer, do it. Don't let this stop you. This is a non-issue in the big picture.

Many marine engineers work on a 10 week rotation. You will not be gone for a 6 month stretch.

what is the use of all that money if you cant spend time on your family?

Seriously i would rather earn half it means i am close by

You get just under half a year off. That's a lot of time to spend with family.

Many people with demanding careers likely spend less time with their families on average. Especially those in North America (where OP seems to live) terrible work-life balance seems to be the norm.

I dont necessarily have to work that far away from them. Marine engineers can almost work everywhere and and every country. It’s just that working on ships pays moreand I have always wanted to travel and see the world.
