They expect career sacrifice but analyze: is that fair? Map sacrifice: what they're asking vs. what they'd give vs. partnership balance. Calculate: career impact vs. relationship benefit vs. resentment risk. Show me the sacrifice reality: partnership requires compromise, shouldn't require total sacrifice. Give me the truth: this ask is reasonable, they're asking too much. Include: whether sacrifice is reciprocal, if I'll resent it, and whether relationship is worth career sacrifice.
