Because it sounds like the relationship she is describing is between two work colleagues (or perhaps two co-founders) - "Mostly, we talk about work" - not a romantic relationship between adults; almost every point she makes is an attempt to justify the compromises she must make on a daily basis because of her partner's obsession with work. There is more to life than work, and (to quote John Ruskin) there is no wealth but life.
