[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  Are they jealous?   DH is a high earner and is an amazing husband and dad.  Sounds like despite being a high earner he makes time for you now and is a good bf.  DH hasn't changed in the 17 years we've been together.  Has always been great.  [/quote]

I don’t think they are jealous. Some of these women are older ladies who tell me how bad it is to be in charge of kids and the house and all the husband does is make a paycheck. They warned me that this will be my life is I choose a man who works too much. [/quote]

Well...does he work too much?   DH is a high earner but he doesn't work to the point that I'm in charge of everything.   He cooks a lot of dinners, takes DS to a lot of activities, helps coach one of his sports teams, helps around the house, etc.  So I suppose it depends.   High earner doesn't automatically equal someone who works so much they are never around.  [/quote]

He does but his viewpoint is work as much as he can until kids come and he can scale back. He puts in 9-12 hour days often most weeks. He makes $400k+. [/quote]

I'm the PP.  This is definitely a greyish territory.  I'm sure there are some guys who will stick to that but I feel like it's MUCH more common than when the time comes, he will find reasons not to cut back.  And if you're banking on that and then it doesn't happen, you're stuck.  [/quote]
