Dreams or Love?

Say you have a dream that you have had forever. This dream means the world to you and you want to make it a reality more than anything. Now say you meet someone and fall in love and he/she wants you to give up that dream because it does not mesh with his/her life/goals. Would you be able to give up your dream that has kept you going? I wouldn't be able to. My dreams are something that I have been working towards all my life and I won't give them up. It would be to hard to give up all that work. Would you be able to do it?
