[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having grown up in poverty it’s really hard for me to understand women complaining about their husbands making less than six figures. To me marriage was always about love, partnership, and parenting than a guarantee of a certain standard of living.

Now women who complain about their partners not participating in parenting or their share of household chores…that I get and it would infuriate me. [/quote]

They didn't grow up in poverty though, so why would they want to lower their standards? Do you want to lower your standards from the wealth you grew up in?[/quote]

Ordinarily I don’t care about people having different desires in life. And I don’t really judge Someone for wanting a high/earning spouse. But the living standards that these women have are superficial and are just making them bitter and unable to see what life is offering them. I’m not talking about having health insurance-type standards, I’m taking about kids being able to do sleep away camp type standards. So when somebody passes over potentially really strong life partners because they want extra bonuses in life that won’t actually make them happy, I don’t get it. [/quote]

I married a nice poor guy thinking I didn't care about sleep away camp. Thought he understood that I was willing to compromise on some things but not on others like going to college for the kids. Turns out he expected me to work throughout the marriage even 3 months after having a baby while he never got a promotion, fought anything like sleep away camp when we had the money, and then left me to have multiple affairs and developed a sex addiction. His family also thought we could support his family with trips back to the homeland. So no sleep away camp for my kids but please  contribute to grandma's house maintenance and her trips overseas. They were awful people who had no respect for other's money. Now he's not paying for college or anything for the kids beyond age 18. Do not marry too far away from your station is what I learned. There is no guarantee that these "nice guys" will stay nice when they get more money to play with. [/quote]

I married a nice guy too, probably could be called middle class. He did not turn out to be the ass yours did. Your husband pulled a bait and switch in you, and I don’t think that had a ton to do with how much money he earned. He probably would have made your life miserable no matter what. [/quote]
