I've done so much more than he has in life

It's sounds like it will be an issue for you. It shouldn't be, but based on the mindset that you have conveyed in your post, it will be.

I would leave him alone. Don't marry him only to become resentful that he is not as "accomplished" as you are. That's not fair.

Well done

I'm the type to do the bare minimum in life. Why should I do things I hate when I can do nothing. To each his own op. Doesn't make me a bad partner

This post really rubbed me the wrong way. "Just did the family man thing." Geez, can you sound any more arrogant and condescending?

Good thing I don't know the guy or I'd tell him to run like hell. He won't be able to live up to the "so much more" that you've done. Leave him alone.

So basically he brought life into he world he was intimately and forever responsible for their well being, shaped them, loved them, tended to their every need, supported them financially, provided them with a home, while you were going to class, doing the "backpack through Europe/volunteer trip to help save the fill-in-the-blanks" and you are worried that HE hasn't done much?
I'm not seeing this

I'm glad you're proud of your masters degree in nonprofit management and the time you went to Ecuador. You're definitely way too good for him.

You're joking right? He raised a family and you slutted around spring breaking yet your tone implies you're better than him?
