[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you marry someone who doesn’t want you to succeed to your fullest?
For you to be your best self? 
He’s a non confident shit move on.

That is the issue.  Some people don't see climbing the corporate ladder as a measure of success. No one's tombstone reads "Larlo was the best CFO" and the odds of any one of your coworkers showing up at your funeral 25 years later is slim to  none.  Work is a mean's to an end not a measurement of importance or self worth.[/quote]

I just recently went to the funeral of a well-known trauma surgeon in my area, and I can assure you that many of his colleagues and patients were there, and his success as a surgeon was a huge part of his life.

I went to another funeral last year of a man who started a charity providing food, laundry, hairdressing, toys, etc. to people in the community who couldn’t afford it.  He had a history of addiction and employed only recovering addicts.  MANY of his co-workers and people he employed came to the funeral, and there was a huge emphasis on his work.

Of course your work matters!

Both of those people sound amazing and have nothing to do with your average person climbing the corporate ladder. You are not making any contribution to society, even if you make it to C suite or even CEO. You could be fired or quit tomorrow and can be replaced with someone just as good or better than you.[/quote]
