7 pages of replies wasn't enough for you back in October. You had to start this dumb thread again? You must be a glutten for punishment. Your H could find enough clients right on this forum to make him wealthy and dump your a$$

I have however remained underwhelmed by his career choice. He is at an easy job that isn’t very highly looked upon. And as such, he’s the butt of everyone’s jokes. He also carries himself in such a way that isn’t very attractive. He’s too...Joe Shmoe

I have a hard time with this as my father is the exact opposite. He has a very well known and respected career and commands a room with his presence.

I keep thinking what’s missing and I guess I thought I’d marry a man like my father. Instead I doengraded, majorl.

I know it’s silly but I can’t shake this feeling if discintent.

You seem fun.

DH is rodeo clown. Most neighbors are in awe or so overly respectful it gets a little strange. At the same time, you do occasionally run into wiser-doodles who want to make cracks about "flappy shoes" and rubber noses and all that. That's why career rhymes with rear! ROTFL

I guess I can assume DH is not packing a bazooka. You can be a busboy and still get the cross eyed gobbledegoo look.

Pretty much

This is why I like Latin women. They know how to treat men.

Really, OP?

You can choose NOT to be around people who make fun of your husband, even if they're close family members.

Stop being so hypersensitive to appearances.

What if you were diagnosed with cancer? Wouldn't you regret your happy life then?
Count your blessings, OP.

+1 This is appalling. As is the fact that you are underwhelmed with your DH, but not these people who mock him.

Life is too short for this nonsense but if this is where your values are, you’ll be a prisoner to them and you’ll never be content.

The most quintessentially DC thread. “And what do YOU do?”

Just chiming in to say OP sounds like a miserable person.

In all seriousness OP, go to therapy and discuss this with someone.

Besides, if you dump him, do you think you will have better options now that you are older, divorced, and already have kids?

Learn to love who you have and put some work into becoming a better person

Excuse you? This is such an ignorant statement. Please tell me more about why you feel this way, including where on earth you live that 'most' of your people would agree with you?

OP, there's nothing wrong with being a cop or a fed.
