Input on working in Kuwait.

Some good advice in this thread. One thing that I've learned about my life anyway is that you always need to look out for #1. Do what's best for you, not someone else, or not something that could be. If you were already married and had children, then of course you need to be concerned about the best decision for the group. Like Scott said, unless you're 100% sure that this girl is completely committed to you and that she is hands down the one you're going to marry, I wouldn't even put her in the picture. If you guys stayed together while you were away and this was still an issue, you'd have a lot of lonely nights in the desert worrying about who's banging her out that night.

You just need to decide what's more important to you. You're still young and have plenty of time to meet another woman that's committed to you. And honestly, I don't know a lot of environmentalists your age (or in general) that are pulling in $80k a year... so if furthering your career is important to you I think it's a no brainer.

Then of course you have to weigh in the fact that you're in the middle of the desert and the shitstorm that is the Middle East...... that would honestly be what would cause me to hesitate.
