London, February 18 : Dita Von Teese would prefer to dump her relationship than sacrifice her career for a man.

The Burlesque Queen, who parted ways with rocker-hubby Marilyn Manson in 2006, revealed that her previous beaus often asked her to prioritise their careers and that she always chose the contrary.

"To begin with, they all say how great (my career) is," the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

"But when it comes down to it, they want their careers to be more important than mine.

"I''ve had many a man ask me to quit so I can support him and be there for him all the time," she added. (ANI)
