I want to achieve my self-actualization whether anybody with or against me
but hopefully we can get a partner that will help us to seek for our goals


Self-actualisation? What do you mean by that?

Surely the perfect partner would want you to achieve and be happy, so would not expect you to choose, so you can have both...

If i do not achieve my ambitions and dreams fully and feels that I am really satisfied with then my life will be pointless.
self-actualization is achieving what i want and not giving up for any reason i know it's hard to reach this level but everyone got the potential to do what he want

No i would not give up my career :smile: im a selfish biatch! :wink: x
I want a really fulfilling career - not in the sense of clawing my way to the top, but in making a difference to peoples' lives and making the world a better place (however foolishly idealistic that sounds :tongue:)
But I chose the perfect partner for some reason...guess if I were to meet my soulmate, I'd be an even bigger fool to miss my chance at real love and happiness. Anyhow, a perfect partner would be supportive of my career plans surely? :smile:

Hey! Just because you would not give up on your career, it doesn't mean that you're a selfish bitch.

To be absolutely honest with you, no.

Okay the scenario has changed, still no:

1. I'm quite selfish, achieving my dreams is the biggest self-satisfaction I could ever have.

2. I'd want to live my dreams in order for my future kids to have to best possible life. Children > Partner.

3. As long is he's not inept and he has a penis, I'll live. I'm not expecting a perfect partner.

4. Perfect partner BUT living on min wage, barely able to put food on the table and the kids will suffer? No thanks. I'm selfish but not that selfish.

Sorry but I'm being honest, shot me.


Just out of interest, what wrk do u want to get into?

my perfect partner would accept me for me, not me for who he wants me to be, so I wouldn't have to give anything up

Exactly. People change.
Give up your happiness to make them happy, never give up your dreams
I have no realistic dreams, but I have a very good idea of what I'd like in a woman.

Never for the first one. Never sacrifice my ambitions for anyone or anything.

Dreams = happiness, for me at least
