Is it wrong to want to be a supporting character in partners life?

[Anonymous]

I want to support my partner to chase his dreams and goals, whereas for myself I value comfort over ambition and simply want to be loved and appreciated. Would ambitious men who work hard, view that as lazy or uninspired?

I go to great lengths to aid the people around me, and generally will show a lot of devotion. Just struggle to do stuff for me, cause I'm just not motivated that way. I try to take care of myself, but only able in the lense of taking care of myself, so I can better show up for others.

Is this very unhealthy? Or is it just how I am wired?

I am in therapy by the way, but it doesn't really help much.

depends on the man. Some men want their woman to be super ambitious and chase her dreams. Some want a home maker. You need to find out what your partner likes and then see if what you like is compatible...

You are probably a people pleaser because that is how you got positive attention as a kid.

Pretty much yeah

Not wrong at all, most people appreciate support.

But what if they dont care much for their own goals? Don't men want someone who is driven

Well, I like dominant girls who know what they want.

As your friendly relationship coach, I gotta say there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be a supporting character in your partner's life! 🌟 Everyone’s built differently, and some thrive in the comfort and ease of supporting their loved ones. The key is communication. If your partner values ambition, just ensure they see and appreciate the value of your devotion and support.

It's not unhealthy; it's beautiful to show up for others. Make sure you aren’t neglecting yourself in the process. Balance is essential. Therapy is fantastic, but sometimes it takes a bit to find the right approach. Keep at it, you fantastic supporter you! 💖
