[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Piggybacking off the thread about the woman who doesn't respect her husband because of the work he does I was wondering how important is this for most mean because it was really important to my ex-husband. 
I was married right out of college and since my spouse made good money and I graduated with useless degree I stayed home or did temp work to fill my time. We didn't have any children. Soon after my husband was making me feel guilty about staying at home since we didn't have kids and started pressuring me to work a full-time. He was growing resentful and I was sick of him being a jerk. Long story short, I divorced him, went to graduate school and today I have great career and I make more money than I ever thought I would. I work long hours 6 days a week most weeks. [b]I I always thought if I made good money I would be more attractive to a potential spouse, but I'm not finding that to be the case.[/b] How important is it to a man what his potential wife does for a living?

I think it's more that you work long hours 6 of the 7 days in a week rather than the money aspect. That doesn't give you a lot of time to be at home with a potential spouse, go out together, etc. etc. Many women don't like their husband working excessively long hours for this same reason.

That being said, do what makes you happiest. Don't scale back hours if you don't want to just to find a spouse.[/quote]
