[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I guess they wouldn't be for me then. I don't think those are mutually exclusive. Like I said, it's about balance, it is possible to have a job and not totally ignore your friends, partner, and family. Some men I'm sure choose to put other people on the back burner because its easier for them to deal with work and not deal with relating to people and their emotions and needs. Because I'd like to get married and have a family someday, this attentiveness to balance isn't something that I'll negotiate on in the future. I'd want my future children to have a loving, attentive relationship with both parents. [/quote]

Sure, but if you prioritize meeting someone who is ambitious and professionally driven, and you search for potential mates based on those criteria, please do not be surprised when they fail to be the family man you want. I am divorced from someone who would absolutely identify as a person with good work/life balance as well as someone who is professionally driven and extremely successful in his field. One of the main reasons we divorced was that at the end of the day, his ambition and professional accolades meant more to him than our family life did. Does not mean that DD doesn't have a loving attentive relationship with him. She is just really used to "Daddy is at a work party" and "Daddy is on a work trip". I am in a relationship with someone at the upper edge of his 30s who manages to be professionally engaged and excited about his work while still being able to put family first. They're not mutually exclusive. This city, however, rewards professional ambition in men a lot more than it rewards attention to family. Surely this is not the first time you're hearing THAT.[/quote]
