How Can My Finance Boyfriend Be A Better Partner?

In light of the thread titled "Bankers and Bad Relationships" which compares women to donkeys (happy mothers day!), breaks them down by which race is best, and focuses on what is best in partner (i.e. the relationship should revolve around your work problems), and not at all about how one can be a better partner while working the demanding jobs in finance, so decided to start this thread to examine the other end of this equation; maybe it will help some of you:

HAVE YOU DATED SOMEONE IN FINANCE: HOW CAN HE/SHE BE A BETTER PARTNER?

You should perhaps also ask this question from your partner directly.

[Also: it seems the original poster in that thread was saying his friend chose a 'hot' woman who was only after his money and they lamented this. So his friend married someone out of superficiality and now his friends feel bad for him because she is also superficial. Are we supposed to pity him?]

This is fucking stupid. If he/she is a shitty partner, drop him/her. It's not fucking rocket science. Oh, wait, I forgot, you want the guy that makes $100k/year his first year out of college, works 90 hours/week, and still wants to take you out to a 5-course, 2-hour meal on Friday night.

Jackass.
