The Worst Girlfriend: An Ambitious Attribute

**Ytaab** · 07-27-2011 07:44 PM

Being ambitious in a relationship can be frustrating. I once told my boyfriend I was cheating on him with my dreams because I honestly care more about my success than calling him back. I am a very strong minded and determined person and I will let no one stand in my way. If you can relate or have tips on balancing your personal goals and personal relationships please share them.

I for one don't want to become the successful independent woman that loves work more than love, but I think right now as a young entrepreneur there's simply no time.

Well, I agree with you. But don't forget that we have to balance our life too. All work and no play is not good at all.

Goodluck in everything that you do

Thank you, and I think I am learning that more and more as I continue my journey to success. Thank you!

You know what If that guy doesn't support your dreams then he is not for you.,because if he truly cares for you he wont let himself be the one to drag you down.,He should be an inspiration not a complication.

Seems like you had a bad day with a girl nothing else....

You must not like your boyfriend very much.

I think it's always a challenge to balance work and your personal life. It sounds to me like it depends on what kind of relationship you have with your boyfriend. If you're interested in having a serious relationship with him, i.e. moving in or marriage, I'd say that you should probably make more time for him. If you see this relationship as something fun and light, then don't worry about it and focus on your dreams.

When you give up on your dreams, you aren't being true to yourself.

We live in a world now where women can be whatever they want...and have whatever they desire! To have such freedom to create your own life and your own happiness and want to go for it....no one should take that from you.

That being said, if this bf (or any future bf) is important to you then it is a matter of making time for them. Your life can be ambitious and you can reach your goals but life is more than just about that. Find out what he wants when it comes to time with you and see how you can work it out together. Hopefully he will be supportive of you and share in your dreams with you.

thats a great debate.
Lets see to it in a different direction. What if the guy is an entrepreneur, and a very ambitious one. For that matter, he spends most of his time with his business, trying to establish it, and make it work. He doesnt give enough time to his girlfriend, its not that he doesnt love her, he loves her more than anyone else, but at the same time, he wants to establish his business as well. He doesnt want to leave it somewhere in the middle. Now, the girlfriend is unhappy cuz she thinks her bf isnt giving her time which she deserves.
what are your thoughts on this situation?

I didn't exactly say something like that.. but I did refuse a move to another state with my airforce ex, because I felt it wasn't right for me. I spend a lot of time working on my ventures and moving just wasn't in the cards and he's still pretty upset about it.

hello,

my name is monica and i have been through these situations with my ex.

it is quite hard at times to split yourself between work and love life. i understand you are focused on your business and you want to make it successful,which i am sure it will happen. the more you work ,the closer you get to success.

i suggest that you should still be close to your gf,like keep in touch,talk as many times as possible on the phone,video chats,emails..it is not a bad idea to send her a surprise email saying how much you love her or a greeting card

something that will surprise her and it will make it memorable. believe she will love you more when you will be making sweet surprises. unexpected!! also try not to be stressed when you catch up. leave all the worries and stress from work behind. forget about everything and concentrate on your gf. have great time.

i hope these are good ideas and will work for you mate

speak to you soon

all the best,monica
