This thread is so interesting to me... it's reminding me of my bff, who was lately dating a slightly older guy (he's late twenties, we're early twenties) who doesn't have a college degree, is divorced, has two kids, and has a very intellectually unstimulating (not a word, I know) job.
BUT, he adored her, treated her very well, and is a good father to his children.
I have to admit that while I liked him as a person, I just didn't think he was on her level. She's working on her Master's, and has a very ambitious life plan, while he's kind of content to be where he is. She recently broke up with him, citing the fact that he doesn't seem to have any real ambitions (at which point, he announces that God has called him to be a preacher, and that he's going to be blessed, along with anyone who is in his life... needless to say, she didn't take that bait).
But it's such a tough one, because being treated well in a relationship is so important, and often hard to come by... and on the other hand, being with someone who shares your goals and plans is just as important (and just as hard to come by...)
