[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop trying to find a man as successful as you. I am a successful consulting exec and I married a GS13 scientist. His career will never compete with mine, he has a regular schedule, and has enough free time to plan vacations for us and take care of a lot of stuff around the house. Consider men who are less Type A - you are strong independent women who can support yourselves. You can likely also support a man and 2 kids. Date someone who is interesting and brings fun and adventure to your life. Find someone who can be your rock because his job is not stressful or require long hours. I was so driven in my 20s I thought I could only be happy with someone as driven as I was - and then I realized those men were boring and didn't have time for me - and didn't have time to read books or discover new bands or find funny clips to show me on YouTube. I started dating men with solid 9-5 jobs and college degrees who worked to live instead of living to work. I married one and I couldn't be happier. [/quote]

Is he happy that you are so driven?[/quote]

He knew who I was when he met me and we dated for 4 years before we married and during that time I travelled full time for work. I knew he was a keeper because he never asked me to stop travelling or slow down. However I did stop travelling because I wanted to and I like coming home to him. So I have made changes - but he's never asked me to. I do it because I want to be a good partner. He enjoys the conveniences my income provides and I enjoy the flexibility his schedule provides us.  We sometimes joke we have an opposite marriage and he is the "wife" in the traditional sense, but it suits us well to have found each other.  [/quote]
