Meg Ryan: It's Difficult To Have A Career And A Relationship

She is the undisputed Queen of romantic comedies whose real love life failed to deliver a fairytale ending.

But Meg Ryan has said that it is impossible to combine a successful Hollywood career with a long-lasting relationship.

The 46-year-old was married for ten years to fellow actor Dennis Quaid, 54, until she had an affair with costar Russell Crowe during filming of 2000 movie Proof of Life.

The actress told Hello! magazine that she found it impossible to maintain a romantic life with the constant demands of her work.

She said: 'It's very difficult to be a career person and have a relationship. I didn't succeed at doing it at all. It's incredibly hard.'

She added: 'I think you have to figure out some way of keeping all of those capabilities and requirement in your life in balance.'

Is that why guys get a promotion when they get married? Oh wait, that would suggest that it's actually GOOD for your career to have a stable relationship.

Maybe this "difficult to combine career and relationship" nonsense is only for girls?

You know the ones that are expected to do the housework and support hubby's career?

Looks like a pretty sexist set-up to me.

Go for the career, girls. At least it pays the bills.

Say all you want about Meg Ryan and plastic surgery. I've seen her up close, and I will tell you that her eyes will melt your cold cold heart.

Why was my comment deleted for suggesting her botched facial surgery may be impeding her love life? It is fairly obvious and a few people have also mentioned it.

If her career is the problem she is rich enough to retire.

[ailbhe]

She rarely works so what's the problem? If she is busy, she can afford to retire.

Her bungled cosmetic surgery is more of an impediment than her career, I suspect.

I live in Hollywood and some of the women who butcher their faces is horrible. Her picture seems to have been touched by photoshop, cause she looked worse not to long ago. And the choir says what career girl?

Then it should be easy for her to have a relationship since her career has been dead for years.

Life is tough. It's tougher when you're just an ordinary working person trying to have a relationship.

I like her work. I think she's still attractive. She made a mistake and is paying for it.

She's just not in a position to gain sympathy from the masses.

She's a wealthy actress. Can't she retire and have all the relationships she wants?

I agree. She should zip it.

if the marriage was over in her mind, why not leave FIRST, than start stooping crowe?

Really Meg? Ya think? Why doncha come on down here and trying doing it without the benefit of zillion dollar movie deals and plastic surgery, while by-the-way, oh, I dunno, staying faithful to the guy you're married to?

[hypnotoad72]

Whoa. She cheated? Divorces can be just and due, but cheating is NEVER justified.

[shotgunblast]

Especially when you used quite pretty and now you look like a blowup doll.
