Have you ever had a "relationship" with someone who is in-love with perfection,achievement, and MONEY ?

Question

how did it make you feel?

Answer 1

Yeah, for two years...made me feel like whatever I did wasn't good enough.  It was lonely.

Answer 2

I would say yes.  It affects his relationships with women.  He then will expect perfection and achievement from others.  It can make a person feel like you're not enough.  You want to be enough for him because you perhaps love him so much and want to be in sync, but you forget you are you and you have a right to be yourself without someone trying to control you.  This kind of relationship will end up nowhere in the end.  There's no true love and respect for himself and for others.

Answer 3

no.  I would never get a long with someone like that.

Answer 4

My dad is like that and he has had a few girl friends, but money is always the problem and makes things go wrong. I can only imagine it must make you feel insignificant since he is always so focused on other things and never has time, and normally is probably really unhappy....

Answer 5

No, because I do not prize seeking perfection, achievement and money as my highest motivation; therefore, that person and I would not be compatible-- and it would be a useless relationship to me (as for love and friendship relationships).

As for family relationships I do have a family member whose strongest motivation is to seek achievement and perfection (and also has a lot of money, lol), but I can honestly say I have not spoken to her for over a year now because I felt she was so condescending in her view of life and reality when others did not fit into her "ideal"-- and I am not going to be in contact with someone who cannot accept me for me and keep a level head on their shoulders that not only his/her path is the best in life.

Answer 6

no i can only assume it would be lonely!  so why even go there!

Answer 7

No. I,m so different than that I don't think they would be interested in me either, romantically speaking. But I would (and) do have a couple of friends like that. It doesn't affect me though, people aren't one dimensional, they have good and bad like everyone else. Actually both of them are really funny, they crack me up.

Answer 8

yes and we broke up because i was young and that was the farthest thing from my mind. but now i am not a happy camper when i dont have enough money or get enough done and my husband complains about that. but in these days and times the way the economy is and how hard life is when you dont have what you need and want its pefectly understandable. i just want 2 live happy and be comfortable at all times so maybe thats what the person is trying to achieve!

Answer 9

~having three other men competitively seeking her attention...

~YES...

Answer 10

Hi there! I have always been accused of being too picky about things. Trying to be perfect at everything. For me it was being obsesive compulsive. I did'nt feel as though I would matter if I was'nt perfect all the time. Like my house to had to be spotless & perfectly arranged all the time. And I was competitive with anyone at anything. Ha! I have grown out of that & I feel much better about myself & not so anxious all the time. To me it was like I was kicking myself all the time to be perfect. This is not anything against you, don't let it bother you. Be yourself  and just let your mate be themselfs. It's not a compition between you two. It's just the way this person is. If something really gets under your skin just, tell that person & I bet they will stop or change it. Just remember to concider there feelings about whatever it is that is bothering you, ask in a nice way. Hang in there!   Francy

Answer 11

no and i will never love that kind of person.....they will love less and think more.....

Answer 12

I do and still have-okay.
