[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$200k is a great salary for a true partner. It’s just okay for a man who is going to offload all the domestic work/mental labor onto his wife. Sadly OP doesn’t really know which he will be. Lots of men go into marriage with the best intentions and then do a crappy job when push comes to shove. [/quote]

OP here. I will be an equal partner. I grew up with parents who were amazing role models. They have been happily married for 40+ years and were true partners with working and raising us. My dad taught us the importance of being self-sufficient and that housework was not only a woman’s job. I have carried those same values into prior relationships. I love to cook and typically have been the main cook in prior relationships. I’m a very clean person and I keep things clean. I don’t know how it will go in terms of parenting, but I will be an equal partner when I’m comes to housework and being involved with raising kids. [/quote]

You’ll be fine, then. $200k is perfect for a dual income couple. It usually means you will not be asked to do extreme things for your job, such as travel, be available on weekends, do tons of overtime, or never take time off. Being able to cook well and keep a space tidy is a huge plus. The women who are looking to SAH on a partner’s income generally have a partner who doesn’t lift a finger around the house, they expect to do everything. Women who make $100k+ would expect someone like you — respectable income, solid background, willing to be an equal partner on the home front. [b]I think if you go in expecting that kind of partnership you will be a catch! [/b][/quote]

+1.  While you want to stay humble, you would be considered a catch for a lot of women.  Likes to cook, self-sufficient, unproblematic family, owns property and not living outside means, good salary with family friendly hours, and honestly looking for an equal partner  - yes, you will be fine.
