I seemed to have missed the memo to "marry rich"

THIS. My ex sold his company for $100 million (I dated him before he had money, but he had an Ivy degree and great job and was clearly going places in life). He tried to pressure me into taking it up the a$$ when I didn't want to, and is generally a terrible, selfish person. His poor wife. Her poor behind.

I have to say - as someone who was extremely lucky to fall in love and marry a spouse who went on to make a huge amount of money, that I’m extremely irritated by the assumption that any woman married to a rich man who ultimately choose to be stay at home parent. That is NOT an aspiration for many of and that needs to be okay. I may not earn as much as DH but I have a job I love, that I’m really good at, and I love my children but I do not want to parent 24/7. Let’s normalize women working because they like working - not as some set of second tier choices next to parenting.

How do you know you don’t like a nice Johnson in your booty-hole? Maybe you should be more open minded (and open anus’d).

At the same time I worked with a very nice guy who I knew had an interest in me. I dated the rich guy for a year but came to realize that the only thing he really had going for him was his money. The guy I worked with was smart, fun, sweet and he had ambition and as time went on I realized I was making a big mistake. So I broke up with the rich guy and asked the nice guy out on a date and we’ve been together over 30 years and I’m incredibly happy. He has also been incredibly successful so that has been a nice bonus. The rich guy has never mounted to anything other than being rich.

Your life sounds like a Hallmark Movie!
