    quit my job for my wife

    I'd like to add my data point. I turned down a 6 figure job offer in California to move to Texas to be with my girlfriend. I ended up being unemployed for over half a year, but we also ended up getting married.

    As it turns out, the company eventually died with the dot com bust. However, I didn't know that would happen when I made my decision to put love before my career.
