20 jobs that are instant red flags for people seeking serious relationships: 'Stand up comedians [...] anything that happens in your relationship will be made public'

Your potential partner's line of work is essential to your compatibility, regardless of whether or not people like to admit it. Sure, in theory, any two people should be able to make their relationship work if they get along. But let's be real here: if your partner works a job where you end up seeing far too little of them, love may not, in fact, conquer all.

These Redditors shared the various forms of employment they feel are red flags for them, and as many folks in the comments section suggested, this can sometimes feel like a catch-22. Considering that virtually every major industry is mentioned, one would think that they would be better off being unemployed if they wanted a serious relationship. However, of course, most folks don't want that either. 

Keep scrolling below for this collection of jobs that, according to some single people, are instant red flags. For more content like this, here's one story about a boss who was so threatened by the idea of their employee looking for other work that they pressured the employee to resign.
