[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I married my husband when he was making 80k and I 50k. We were deeply in love, with no family money on either side. We got married in 2014. It has now been 8 years since we married. We do not own a home. We do not have children. We almost got a divorce 2 years ago due to stress of not having enough to build a family life in NOVA.

I am stressed out and regretful about my choice most days. Yes, he was hot and nice, but that did not give us an income to build a suitable family life. I watched with envy as each of my friends married men making 200k, 400k and immediately were able to buy homes, have babies, build families and a family life. 
I never cared about money. I thought it was silly and materialistic. Because after all, its true love and the insides that matter.

As a bitter, broke, childless  mid thirties woman, I regret not caring about my prospective husband's salary.

If I were to do it again I would not date anyone who made less than 300k.[/quote]

But do you even make half as much?  Why do you expect someone to do what you cannot?[/quote]

It’s a mans world. Due to patriarchy and biology, most women cannot expect to make as much as men. So we should he targeting the richest men we can when looking for marriage. He brings the money, I bring the babies. Equal partnership.

I can't stand this comment. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting a man that makes way more.

After all, its a man's world. Men make more money. Thats the way the world works.[/quote]

It’s the 21st century. The way the world works is women have the opportunity to make their own damn money.[/quote]

They do. And when men start expecting to get pregnant and give birth I’ll listen to this nonsense about not “expecting your partner to do what you cannot” [/quote][/quote]
