it realy doesn't matter if your SO climbs or not. If they do climb but are an ass HOLE than it still wont last. what counts is that you are with someone who adores you. EVEN if that means you spend every nice weekend not with them. relationships are challenging. and finding someone who is confident and stoked enough about there own life that they don't need you to fill it is hard, because then you have to MAKE time for one another. you get out of a relationship what you put into it and what you put into yourself. I guess from my perspective, the relationships that I have seen work are the ones where on person can say " I need" and the other person actualy wants to, and follows threw with doing that thing.
I know a cupple that I respect deeply, they are not a "normal" cupple but they have been making it work their way for 13 years... he says "Happy wife, Happy life", when she askes some thing of him, he sets out to do it in the best way he can and brings home results, and she has never once batted and eye at his goals and ambitions. she suports in any way she can. they are verry diffrent form oneanother, the do diffrent things have diffrent hobbies, but they are one of the two happiest cupples I know. as for the other side the people who enjoy similure hobbies side, go to the oregon cascades section and read some of timmys TR's
