I can marry a workaholic, but he would have to balance time with family, etc. Many times I can be a workaholic, so along as I see the good results of him being one. For fellow workaholics, try to have some time to enjoy life, so u won't go crazy or get too sick. With the economy now I choose to be a workaholic, plus I need big savings badly!

you guys should stop telling lies jor! y'all can't stand a workaholic for a wife! who's going to clean up after you and cook for you, eh? or take care of the kids and do the shopping, take care of laundry and everything else y'all can't be bothered to do? tongue tongue
Re: Would You Marry A Workaholic? by mamagee3(f): 12:43am On Mar 26, 2010
Oh My God, I know of a Workaholic who's marries with Children, He's a lways working even when he's sick. . .
Nothing makes him leave work even when he's Off, Even during his Son's birthday, he still goes to work.
Any Day he stays out of work for Emergency purposes, he would be very sad for the rest of the day.
It's quite annoying and boring, It's almost like an addiction or quest to get rich as fast and as soon as possible.
I mean it's bad, One should be able to spend time with loved ones without going to work all the time.
Re: Would You Marry A Workaholic? by Nobody: 1:20am On Mar 26, 2010
I was a workaholic and heading towards it again. I guess I will only slow down when I get married of course but that won't stop me working either. I get sooo much highness from working, beats getting drunk and laid, yea definately! grin

Everything is wrong with someone who can't stay at home even when he's off from work, Everything is wronmg with a man who has never celebrated his son's birthday for once, Everything is wrong with a man who has a psychological disorder of being a Workaholic also known as a work addict.
It's Okay to be a hardworking person but it becomes a problem when you become addicted to it

totally disagree with u, is he productive at work? if yes, nothing is wrong with him, the son shld just get used to it. all these over pampered kids sef
Re: Would You Marry A Workaholic? by mayfrances(f): 7:13am On Mar 26, 2010
Yes, I will marry and I am married to a workaholic. He is a nurse and works at least 10-12 hours a day. At $30.00+ an hour I can accept a workaholic. If he can't pay the bills then he needs to tear his ass!!!!!!!!!! You have to pay to play in America!!!!!!!!!!!!! In order to have something in the U.S. you are either a workaholic or doing something illegally.
Re: Would You Marry A Workaholic? by ZE: 10:38am On Mar 26, 2010
Some people engage themselves in constant activities without achieving any meaningful results.

Something is wrong with a man/woman who works from 8.00am to 9.00pm seven days in a week and earn 30,000 naira at the end of the month. I call it 'working like an elephant and eat like an ant' (except situation warrants that the person has to go through that process temporarily not as if he/she derives joy in 'picking the grass')

Having said that, a workaholic that earns something to show for it will go for me any time. If you profile the habit of 95% of all the highly successful men you will realize that they were workaholics at one time or the other.

So will go for the person that works hard but works smart.

I hope the man who marries the workaholic girl is willing to cook some dinners and clean the house sometimes. I read a story about a woman who works for 12hrs coming back to her deadbeat husband who works for only 5hrs and the man still demanding his meal to be cooked and house cleaned. Now that is unspeakable.

It's not about pampered kids, dear.
It's about a father spending time with his children instead of the mother being the only parent at sight all the time. . .
There's time for everything, there are Children who turn out to be violent and go through psychological trauma
because their parent mostly father weren't there for them, they didn't spend quality time with their father which is bad.
At least a father should be there with his son at the time of his son's birthday, if not for anything to please his Child.
Working all the time doesn't discipline your kids, you have to be there to discipline them and correct them when they're wrong

what makes u think workaholics dont take care of their kids? Bill Gate is a workaholic and his kids seem to be doing fine. obama is a workaholic and his family is doing fine even when they had some rocky moments b4. my mom is a workaholic even in her retirement, and i came out alright, so ur point is very flawed. ppl whose kids are neglected will never have been good parents work or no work period. how do u explain the stay at home mom whose kids are wayward? if a girl walks out on me bcuz i work too hard, i will gladly kiss her goodbye. it happened to my kid bro and i told him not to even try to call her, let her bounce and he is a better person now that she is gone. she herself has seen her mistake and comes around and i strongly hope my brother dont take her back.
Re: Would You Marry A Workaholic? by InesQor(m): 3:42am On Mar 27, 2010
For me, work and play are always so entwined that it's often hard to tell the difference. But if I am expecting to be paid something good (in cash or kind) for my play, I'll call it work.

So I can marry a workaholic, she must only be ready to learn how to simultaneously play while working, it's the easiest way through life. cheesy cool

so ur point is workaholic cant hire ppl to take care of their kids? the title says cant u marry a workaholic, and i say yes bcuz i can adjust to that life style and workaholics dont make bad parents like u are trying to point out. as for my bro, i am happy for him as the loser of a girl wants him back and i dont want her in our family. she can go look for some lazy soul that will make love to her all day until the bills show up.
