[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are allowed to have your own preferences and priorities and people will doubtless judge you for that. You are entitled to what you want. Don’t feel bad about that, even though this may reduce your dating pool by a few ticks.

Ultimately, this is about agency. I’m sure you know that already. People here will give you advice, one way or the other, but it eventually boils down to your choice. You want a nice, high earning man with whom you can have a few kids and stay at home (which really means staying at home for eight years, not the 3 to 5 you were projecting). At the moment, the thing you are lacking is the high earning guy. You can choose to look for someone else. But you cannot choose to materialize somebody who meets all of these criteria and have them fall in love with you. You have something like six years left to get engaged to such a man, and that means only a few other guys that you get to have a serious relationship with. Only you know whether this guy is so nice or so close to the income threshold that it is worth it. There are lots of guys who may be higher earning, but are much worse life partners. Either way is a gamble with the rest of your life. Which are you more comfortable with, the predictable frustration that you will feel with this guy, or the unknowable downsides to some other guy?
