no, my uncle married a doctor right after she finished med school. She was constantly working while he was at home taking care of the kids. He felt like his needs werent met and she was never around. They ended up divorcing shortly after. I've known a lot of marriages that have ended in divorce or spouses being unhappy due to one person never being around.
No. The so-called-workaholic feels unappreciated for all the hard work he or she puts in. The non-workaholic feels unappreciated, too.
I worked like a quarry slave during the first fifteen years of my career in order to establish myself. Some of my girlfriends didn't like that I wasn't available every night. Thank God I finally married someone who understood me.

I wouldn't want to be with a workaholic. I'm an extremely hard worker and goal oriented person, but I don't think a workaholic knows how to enjoy life. Their life is work, that's a waste.
Well, first let's define terms. Some people define a workaholic as anyone who doesn't sprint out the door at the dot of 5:00. If you mean someone who stays until the work is done, even coming in on the occasional weekend, that's not being a workaholic. That's just what it takes to work in the professional class.
However, MrsCPG had parents who owned their own business, too. So she understood exactly what it takes sometimes.
I don't think there is any type of combination that absolutely will not work. It just depends on the two people and how they deal with it. Sme can be happy in situations others can't stand.
It has the potential to create tensions in the relationship
given the non-workaholic may want to enjoy more "us" time.
The potential for this depends on the individuals in the
relationship so there is no definitive answer to the question.
