Essentially, my partner is great, but he has no work ethic. It has lead us to some interesting discussions, as obviously when you say someone has no work ethic the immediate response is 'loser' lol. He is however very intelligent (two first class degrees from university), but seems to have problems translating that into a 9-5 type job. He has ADHD, recently diagnosed as an adult.
He has talked at length about his feelings about work, that despite what job it is simply having to be somewhere he doesn't want to be & working makes him miserable no matter what it is, and that he also feels a lot of imposter syndrome / anxiety where he constantly feels uncomfortable and that he is constantly fucking up.
Anyway it has led us to some interesting debates in the context of whether working your entire life is actually normal and it's making me question when enough is enough and how I view society I guess. My partner has done well, owns two houses and has a good retirement fund set aside. Im not sure where all his money came from, perhaps inheritance.
Its a bit insane to me because I think he could probably be more wealthy by now if he actually just put more effort in, but he's just so happy with what he has and its making my brain malfunction a bit lol
If someone is comfortable enough, but has no work ethic, would you think less of them? He is certainly passionate about many things, just not work!
