[quote=Anonymous]My DH isn’t super successful like this guy, but plenty successful (biglaw partner) and I am hardly employable (SAHM with an advanced degree but out of the workforce for a long time). We didn’t start out this way, in fact I’m older so he was into my career by the time he finished law school. But I do still feel awkward when I think about it. I always thought I would be successful like him, and, well, I’m not. But I try not to compare, and I’m getting close to believing DH when he says that all work in a partnership is equally valuable. Income and success are nothing in the grand scheme of things. What truly matters is relationships and other ways to make life meaningful. But it’s a process! And not easy. But like most hard things, it’s worth it. Even if things don’t progress with this guy, I would do this inner work to separate success from your personal worth as a human being. [/quote]
