We stole each other’s job (out of love?)

Here’s some safe-for-public pillow talk. Drifting off to sleep, Sarah asked me if I thought I would have the same career if we weren’t together.

We both agree, obviously no.

I’m familiar with the idea of a couple supporting each other and through that support one or both of them being able to achieve things they otherwise wouldn’t.

We do that. But that’s not really the thing she was getting at.

The thing is that we each took the other person’s job.
