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.
