[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]

As a 26 year old woman... i appreciate your honesty.[/quote]

Thank you, I wish someone had told me. I was a naive hopelessly romantic who thought love was enough.
Interestingly my friends who were encouraging me to marry him, themselves only dated and married rich guys. They look at me with pity now with their SFHs and babies while I still live in an apartment and am childless.

I’m not surprised. They probably wanted less competition. Mating and dating is a competition. Life itself is a competition.

That’s the dark side is human nature. Sometimes women’s advice to another woman have ill intentions.

It’s what I call the detour friend. The friend who gives you life advice and encouragement for you to apply that’s sends your life on a detour.

A lot of people like to give life advice they would never live by. Those people are dangerous. Be careful who you call your friend. [/quote]
