Frankly, I have gone through two marriages with the wrong persons. They didn't get what I do. My current love of my life does. He actually understands. He is one of us. Don't want to throw up barriers for you, but can you talk about your work? If not your relationship is doomed. May take years, but it will get there.
Don't mean to be a gloom and doom, but it seemed like so much of a yes or no question, I would say no.
Hey, my feeling is that if she doesn't understand the business and the attraction that it has to her boyfriend, she is probably the wrong girlfriend. I rather doubt that she would be a Pana girl and he be a Sony guy. My guy works for Panasonic as well, so I really don't think that Sony is looking to hire either of us. ;-) Find someone that understands your dreams and there you have a relationship.
Maybe this girl is just feeling a bit lonely and neglected. How much time DO you spend with your FX1? Sharing in passions is one thing, but being an ass because you love technology is another. Life should be balanced, and life is about a lot more than work. Peace.
Jan has a sweet legitimate gig at Panasonic, peddling the best-conceived cameras on the market. The orig. poster is probably driving a Ford Mustang II hatchback and hawking his girlfriend's jewelry and Beanie Baby collection (c. 1998) to buy raw stock like an addict.
There are two sides to every boyfriend / girlfriend story after all.
