What does your spouse do; do you like his/her profession?

He's a lawyer; I'd say so, since it's mine as well

My man just retired after 41 years, working as an economics consultant. When he talks to me about economics, i am bored. However, when i hear him give presentations and everyone thinks he's brilliant, so do I

Marine. Very proud of him. I hate the deployments but that's what he signed up for at 18 and I signed up for at 22 when we married.

No regrets after 22 years. Hoping for 50 more.

I also have a career.

My husband is a bartender. I hate it. The money is great but the hours aren't conducive to typical family life.

I wish he'd pick a more traditional and lucrative career.

OMG I remember you from several months ago! Ahahah. You posted a whole thread about being embarrassed by your DH's career choice despite everyone else in the thread thinking it was pretty cool.

My DH is a math professor. I love it because mathematicians, unlike most other professors, don't have labs to maintain, and so he can work from anywhere and I get to join him often at conferences in interesting locations.

The downsides are that money could be better and that the subject of academic department politics gets really boring really fast. But all in all it's pretty sweet.

DH is a partner at a law firm. He loves the interesting work but hates the politics. Occasionally he has an interesting/fascinating/eye opening story to share, but mostly what I hear is grumbles about office politics and having to babysit grownups.

Overall it's a great gig. He is highly skilled and educated and puts it to good use.

Wow so he is a carpenter. Cool, you house must have some great things in it and he always smells like fresh cut wood

Pp with carpenter DH. Lol when it comes to these guys, their own house is the last to get any work done. He does a pretty good job of cleaning himself before coming home. No one wants dust everywhere.

DH is a primary care Dr. 3 "long" days a week (8-6) and two short days. We don't make a ton of money but enough for me to stay home and take care of our family and have babies. I love it and am proud of him.

But, if it rains or snows he goes in late, comes home early and when we want private time he can come home for "siesta". He can do whatever he wants whenever he wants but he is the hardest working man I've ever known.

His reviews and work are gorgeous and I couldn't be prouder of him.

I smile. What a sweet relationship.
