[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see what's so crazy or disrespectful about this post. The only place [b]the OP went wrong was in not securing a higher earner from the start- if money is that important to you you need to respect that and screen for it in the dating stage instead of hoping vaguely that everything just works out.[/b][/quote]

I agree with this. Everyone, of both genders, has to own what's important to them, and hold themselves responsible for finding/choosing that. I've known women who marry blue collar guys, or lower-income professionals like teachers and then spend the next 10 years trying to bitch and bully them into making more money so they can stay at home, go to society events, whatever.

I've also known men who married "Real Housewives" type women who then complain to anyone within earshot that all their wives want to do is get their nails done, run up huge bills while shopping, and aren't spending enough time with the kids.

The upshot: Be brutally honest about what you want, and don't settle for less. If you marry a trophy, expect that you're going to have to polish it. If you want to BE a trophy, marry someone who can afford the polish. [/quote]
