As dynamics change you have to figure out your new role and what part you play in your partnership. It can be scary.
Ambitious people have to recognize that everyone doesn’t want MORE like they always do. Then they have to decide if they are okay with that. If they are okay always striving for more and being more while with someone who is complacent or content where they are.
Sometimes, with communication I think the two or more can balance one another out. The content person can help the ambitious one to see the joy in the present more. The ambitious one can motivate the complacent one....
But sometimes..... you just need to find your match, your peoples instead of forcing your expectations, dreams, and work ethic on someone else who doesn’t want it or isn’t capable.
If you are unsure. I am the ambitious one. I always want to be the best I can. I always want to do more. My C is quite content being a great father, a great husband, a great gamer, and an good IT admin. Lol
My Ms Perfect, Ms Everything Syndrome can really get the best of me though. I drown in my own expectations and ambition sometimes. C’s contentment and nonchalance balance me.
And my perfectionism and ambition keep him from going full antisocial gamer.
But just as when I stopped being the breadwinner and decided to stay home with our children, a another shift is coming. I can feel that I am on the precipice of great things with my blogging and helping other mothers. Our dynamic will change again soon
I hope that C and I will continue our great communication and find our balance to continue on as we did with all our dynamic shifts before because I won’t stifle my growth and prosperity. I still want to help more, earn more, be more.
