Workaholics

[LuLu345678]

Can two workaholics be in a happy and functional relationship?
Fascinated to have met a couple who literally both work 7 days a week, take their laptops on holiday, are willing to drop everything for work. One is a Barrister who works very long hours but still has a couple of side hustles which do not take up an insignificant amount of time. They both seem to prioritise work over everything else, which I suppose is better than only one of them doing and the other feeling neglected….
Is it just about having different expectations of marriage? I personally don’t see this as any different to being single, with the outward show of having a spouse!
Does anyone know of anyone like this? Are they genuinely happy?

It is a difficult one. I'm a workaholic myself, but I'm single. You'd have to make some time for your partner and the marriage presumably, otherwise what's the point. Maybe they just like the financial perks of marriage, are dreadfully boring, or love work! Well matched I'd say, in that case.

Plenty of workaholics couples in the legal and banking world. They never see each other and outsource kids to nannies, tutors etc. this gives them status in society and helps them fulfil financial and career goals.

I wish I could realise my own workaholism.
