Question is a bit vague Mar 7, 2010

I voted for other, since the question was a bit vague. In which sense does relationships suffer due to work really mean? Financially and workload (ex. recent numerous posts about low rates jobs and accepting them, leading to less income with more workload to make ends meet), irregular working hours, etc. or does it mean as a whole?

Influenced, yes Mar 7, 2010

... for the better, not suffered. In my opinion, that is: some people probably do not appreciate that I am no longer totally and permanently available for them.

... Mar 7, 2010

i said No, which in a way is true, but probably I should have said Other. I've just moved (well, one year ago precisely) into a new city, and although I've joined some lessons for fun and to meet other people, I know I would have more acquaintances now if I didn't work at home... But considering the whole situation (always on the move, two little kids...) I don't change it!!!!

No Mar 7, 2010

My not working would probably be more likely to affect them...

Not significantly Mar 7, 2010

I guess my relationships are sometimes affected and "suffer" a little if I'm overworked and don't have time to go out/spend time with people. But I voted "no", as I don't think any of my relationships have suffered significantly due to work.

When I was dating... Mar 7, 2010

...the guy I was going with invariably took someone else out when I was busy translating. He ended up marrying one of them.
