[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is somewhat beta in that he (like PP) prioritized family time and quality of life over climbing the ladder at work and making a lot of money. He is very bright and went to good law schools but chose to leave a law firm where he had higher income potential (but also had to work long hours and bring in business, which he has no appetite for) to become a fed. He loves the regular hours, free weekends, etc but he is still challenged in his work and has stimulating projects.

BUT - he's not bringing home the dough, nor am I. We live a solidly middle class life and he's able to spend a good amount of time with me and the kids. Neither of us prioritize material things like fancy cars, updated house, etc but we are comfortable. Neither of us are particularly ambitious.

So in this sense, we are both betas. But DH isn't a slacker; he does work hard, is intellectually curious and isn't at all lazy. I respect him a great deal.

So yes, I married a beta but I'm still happy. [b]He's not the sort to toss me over his shoulder and carry me in the bedroom, [u]and I do miss that a bit[/u][/b], but if I worked up the nerve to tell him that, he would be willing to give it a try. :)[/quote]

Took you long enough to get to the point.  [/quote]
