He has not held a full time job for the past 2 years, collected unemployment and now only works 2 days a week as a taxi dispatcher. He has a BA degree, married 2x, one son 39 y.o. who refuses to speak o him. Also my guy has NO friends in the 23 years in the same city, no outside interests and no goals. Has a 21 y.o car, no credit, pays with cash - I decided to do a background check and saw that he has 16 judgments against him totaling $28K. T

The only thing He has going is a law suit which he believes he will be rewarded a couple of million dollars. In his favor is that His character is loving, and caring, but it bothers me that he lacks ambition. Me...I have assets and own a few pieces of real estate and have always been an entrepreneur. Question: Dump? or Keep?
His lack of ambition will not change. If it bothers you now, think about a year from now.

Default Have You Ever Dated Someone With No Ambition?

Yes! I didn't even think about it when I dated her being young and dumb myself.

"How dumb?" you might ask. I married her. That's how dumb. As of now we haven't been married for the past 23 years.

The greatest ambition a person can have is to be ordinary.

A person that has what some call no ambition may just be content with their life.
One old saying about that is "to want what you have "
What bothers me more is those that have wants but do nothing to obtain them.
That is, to me, is a troublesome lack of ambition.

One, in my 20s. She was smoking. But, that's best for when one is in one's 20s.
