STBXW actually doesn't do so well with Rs because she's too focused on her own ambitions/career.
It was always too easy for both of us to focus on work rather than maintaining a connection with each other.
She doesn't understand that a relationship doesn't have to be in competition with ambitions/career.
I don't agree with STBXW's career advancement strategy. I tend to be very hardline when it comes to maintaining the appropriate boundaries in a business R.
Some of the other points you raised - I think are common issues in power couple marriages. I haven't figured out the answers yet. I suppose when I do - is when I will get serious about dating - as opposed to going through the motions or putting myself out there.
