[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend and I have a beautiful connection. both of us are marriage minded. There is one issue that’s giving me pause and I’d like to know what others think.

I am ambitious and probably make a little more than him. He is somewhat traditional on gender roles. [b]he doesn’t want me to work long hours, and I get the feeling he does not want me to climb the corporate ladder[/b].

I’ve told him in marriage I’d compromise on long hours. But I have this feeling he may generally speaking resent me for being ambitious down the road. I have no plans of stopping being career driven though I can dial back hours.

Everything else is golden between us. Thoughts?[/quote]

If you were my daughter, I would tell you to run, and ask you why you want to start married life with someone who already wants you to make yourself smaller.

Everything else may be golden, but this - his desire to see you reign in your work life - is enough to tarnish whatever else you feel is golden.

Every minute you spend with this guy, he is filling a space in your life that could be filled by someone who will love you as a full, ambitious human equal. [/quote]
