Would you rather your significant other be
(a) not only supportive of your personal goals, but also very diligent at reminding you to stick to your goals even when you don't feel like it
OR
(b) not really tuned into your goals or very supportive of them (more of a live and let live approach, considering you responsible for your own goals).

(b)
When Aaron pushes me I tend to push back. It's the stubborn goat approach, I think. If I went with A I'd never reach any of my goals because I'd be too busy fighting him on it. So B for me.
LOL. An insightful question. It's kind of fun to be the A spouse and henpeck and critique every move. On the other hand, being the B person means that you don't have anyone to blame but yourself. That's not good either. So, actually, I'd prefer that Janssen be the A spouse for you but that Gigi be the B spouse for me except when I'm in the mood for her to be the A spouse.
Considering the fact that I'm not yet married, I can't say for sure. At first I thought A. But I guess it really depends on what you mean by not tuned in. Does that mean not interested or that the person just doesn't feel a compelling responsibility to make sure you achieve your goals?
My parents have never questioned me about my decisions. They're supportive and interested in what I do, but they've never really pushed me to pursue a specific path education or career-wise. So maybe an approach more like option B would work well after all.
I love it when Jensen is interested in my goals and provides helpful insight on how to achieve them! So I think I am more of an A type person.
B - Except when husband actually sabotages my goals (such as bring home a treat).
I'm surprised by how many people so far have chosen B. My choice is A. I need support and friendly reminding.
Neither. I would rather she be supportive of my goals, but not be super diligent in reminding me of them; because if she was super diligent, I'd feel like I was being policed.
I think I need A, but my husband needs B...with dashes of a caring A, only when solicited.
I definitely prefer supportive and even dilligent in reminding you when not in the mood. Everything worthwhile Ive done had at least a few really rough parts, so its nice to have someone to pick you up and give you back your perspective amidst all the uncoaphy. know what I mean?
Well, that's totally unfair - my obvious choice is some of both!
