Why do some people have to compromise but others don’t?

YMMV.


What kind of successful men do you know? I know many from the fathers of my friends growing up to my parents' friends to my husband's friends to my co-workers and the fathers of my children's friends. Many of them are wildly successful (i.e. rich) from their careers but are also incredibly loving, sweet fathers and husbands. My dad way out-earns my FIL and is also 1,000 times kinder. My husband way out-earns my BIL and is also 1,000 times kinder. And my dad and husband have two totally different careers, so it's not that. I guess you can tell yourself whatever makes you feel better, but your statement does not hold up in my book.

I’ve known and dated many very nice high earners who were truly kind men. I’m married to one, too.


He must short and/or ugly

I have a fantastic DH and great kids. And I have experienced a lot of death and pain in my life. But I am so grateful every day for the things and people I do have.

Honestly I think gratitude plays a lot into it. My mom is perpetually dissatisfied and a big part of it is that she is constantly looking for something better. She can't be happy with what is in front of her. It has made her successful in ways I'll never achieve but it has made her personally kind of a sad and wistful person.

I love my life, and whenever I get frustrated with DH I remind myself of all the things I love about him. Do that every day and you end up really loving someone!


Wow, are you me? I've also dealt with death and pain but am super grateful for my husband, and my mom is exactly the same as yours!


Glad to know I'm not the only one who found the light at the end of the tunnel pp
