Hey Guys, I'm a 25 year old female dating a 34 year old guy. He's nice, hardworking, caring, GORGEOUS, and we've never even had a fight (been together 2 years). Lately we've been thinking about marriage, and there's one thing that really bothers me: His Job.He works in a warehouse and has no ambition to pursue anything else. I am a college graduate and plan to pursue my masters in business. I want to be successful at my job, but I can't help feeling that he will end up feeling inferior if I am the "bread winner." I asked him what he wanted to do and he said as long as he has me he'll be happy. I love him very much, but should this be a cause for concern? I just don't understand how someone so smart and hardworking wouldn't want something more for himself? He doesn't have a degree and is 34 so he probably thinks it's too late. So I guess my question is, should I move on, or should I stay with him and accept the fact that this will be his job for the rest of his life?

Has he ever expressed any desire to go back to school or try for a more demanding job? If so, encourage him; if not, you can try raising the subject with him again. More than likely, though, you'll have to accept that this is what he wants, and then decide whether you're comfortable being the breadwinner or whether ambition is too important a quality in a life partner for you to sustain this relationship. That question, only you can answer.

Accept this reality. And as far as the bread winning thing is concern, u can get a degree that u want but get a job that has been given to u based on ur lower achievements. In short, get a job that pays a little less than what ur love earns. that would get things running fine. And remember, u can get only one thing out of both either a good husband or luxuries. Also remember, a good husband can give u ur basic needs which r more than enough and keep u satisfied but money can't get u good husband

Dump him immediately ! He appears to be your dream guy but he isn't as driven as you....BIG DEAL! As long as hes happy who cares? Me things your a bit too immature for marriage at this point.
