Would you make career sacrifices for your partner?

A year ago, my partner talked me out of taking a promotion to a management position at work because he didn’t want me to have to deal with the extra responsibilities and the impact it would have on our relationship. He reassured me that “opportunities like this will come up again” and that I shouldn’t take on these responsibilities now.

A year later and I’ve been approached about another opportunity for promotion to management. Again, my partner is opposed to it, arguing that it will detract from my ability to be around for him and his needs.

We don’t have kids and my partner is a graduate student.

What would you do, or what have you done in a similar position?
