[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is not BS. I actually ended up divorced because of this issue. While dating I find that men seem excited/interested in me being an overachiever in the beginning, but down the road it becomes an issue. It is as if the idea of a career woman is great to them, but the reality is something they can’t handle. Examples include:

-resenting that I’m unwilling to relocate given this area is the epicenter of good jobs for me
-expecting prompt texts and drawn out conversation while I’m working
-dismissing my professional expertise (it’s in something that everyone interacts with like say being a doctor)
-advising me to not go for better opportunities
-getting annoyed that I am thoughtful and therefore have my own independent opinions

I had similar experiences while dating.  I thought that dating someone less ambitious in his career would mean that they would have more room to be supportive of mine, but I actually found the opposite was true.

My advice would be to find someone as accomplished as you are who understands how demanding that can be on your personal life, and then to remain childfree.  [/quote]
