lucy, ambition is good if you don't use it till overkill. by this i mean if you have decided what you want to do, please continue. it is important to you and if it is important you have to go with it. your boyfriend is working and providing an income for both of you. that is important to him. if it is steady work and regular pay, he is satisfied. you have to enjoy what you do. don't judge him because he has no ambition. he has it but it is to provide for both of you, not necessarily to get rich. if ambition is to get rich it is no good. if it is for a special purpose in life than it matters. if ambition equals money it is no good. if ambition means doing well at what you enjoy and a side affect is money ambition is good!
