I married the wrong guy...should have been the hedge fund guy

[Anonymous]

Seriously. They were both smart, ambitious and I stuck w the DC lawyer. Meanwhile I’m sitting in my house in NW DC while the other guy I could have married now lives in Palm Springs, 1/ 2 block from the beach. I really screws that up.

Why didn't you become a hedge fund manager yourself so you could buy your own beach house?

Because I’m good at what I do already. This has nothing to do with my career.

But you can't afford a Palm Springs house?

How do you know if we cannot afford home in Palm Prongs? We could. But we cannot move there any time soon because of our jobs in DC. . We could live in NYC or CT, , but that’s not so appealing right now. Marrying the DC lawyer was the safe bet at the time. The bottom has fallen out of the legal industry and it turns out my husband, while a top partner, works in a firm where people will never, ever leave and the executive committee members will not push them out.

The grass is always greener. If Palm Springs is vital to your happiness, pack up and go.

Do you mean palm beach? Palm Springs is in the desert, not close to the beach.

I feel like there are a good bit of us feeling like we married the wrong one. You aren’t alone.

That’s the point. I am a good “catch”.

So basically you should have picked someone more financially successful, without factoring in what kind of person he is? I guess compatibility, kindness, what kind of parent and partner he is, all don't matter. I feel really sorry for your DH. I hope he wishes he picked someone else, too.
