Never occured to me to work any harder. I did worked hard without it so....
I certainly wasn't when I dated somebody that worked at night. When everything was going well, it probably was, but there were times when she got sick where I was not as productive.
Work is work & my personal relationship doesn't impact my productivity. My career reputation & work ethic are very important to me & if the person I'm with tries to interfere with that, then they don't understand me or have a concept of my idea of real life bills, mortgages or obligation & responsibilty. I've pretty much made my way on my own most of my adult life & have worked hard for what I have. I don't date men for their wallets or what they can offer monetarily so they shouldn't expect me to shirk work for them.
Less productive because it distracted me. However if I ever actually went to a long term stable relationship that wasn't in the honeymoon phase and then break up, probably I would do better.
No difference. Apparently, I just like to teach, and enjoy interacting with my students..which doesn't depend on whether or not someone else is in my life.
But, in some cases, having someone to contribute to the income/housework/car repairs was helpful in general.
Yes. I just felt happier. All the bullshit didn't matter as much.
