[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it wouldn’t be the ambition per se that’s a problem but the signs of narcissism.  I personally wouldn’t want a partner who works constantly but if I had a partner who was ambitious, smart, and talented, but still down to earth and prioritized relationships, awesome.

This.  My DH is ambitious and driven, with a successful high paying career, but extremely balanced and kind and the opposite of a narcissist.  I am also really driven and have a successful, high earning career, and while I am not as kind and balanced as DH (because he really just is that great) I am also not a narcissist and i have a lot of balance and time for my family (including being available consistently for my SN dS).

Conversely, my neighbor/close friend is married to a doctor who is "ambitious" but in a kind of delusional narcissistic kind of way.  He keeps blowing up his career every 3 years through some dumb move, and their finances are fairly precarious.  His narcissism seeps into their home life all the time.  [/quote]
