Why is it when people start relationships with someone who has a certain type of job, they end up wanting them to leave said job?

For example, X has been a cop before meeting Y, but after they get into a relationship or married, Y wants X to give up that job?

You got him/her in that particular profession, why demand a change afterwards?

Do you think it's fair?

Look. I'm old and tired. I'll change for myself and I'll change for the sake of saving the planet (like recycling, or buying an electric vehicle, etc), but if some young buck comes along and thinks I'm gonna rearrange my entire life for him, he can eat a bag of dicks.

At my age, you know who you are and what you're about, and you're finished with the whole "experimental" finding-yourself stage of life. You'd do best to find a partner whose already-established life meshes nicely with yours.
