[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so:

He's generally nice to you: That's good but I wouldn't call it "amazing". You must have a very low opinion of men if you do.

He doesn't micromanage your spending, which is partly from your own earnings and marital assets: Normal.

He does some chores (less than half): Normal. He doesn't have to be reminded: Good.

He took 2 weeks parental leave: Not very good.
He was helpful while on leave: Good.

He is a CFO of a big company: That's really the most "amazing" thing here.

He "bought you a house" using your earnings which are half his anyway, and other marital assets which are half yours anyway: Normal, and also a weird thing for you to say.

He doesn't really care about which house so he went with your preference: Normal.

He sees his kid 2 days a week: Not very good, may improve as the kid stays up later.

He's handling a weekend of caring for one infant mostly without your input: That's good. But it's not "amazing".

So I'm not really seeing where the "amazing" is, and I think your friends are right to call this out.  What makes you feel you need to ooh and aah over this setup?[/quote]

OP here.

He’s more than “ generally” nice to me. He’s very good to me and goes out of his way to treat me well and show me he loves me.

I say he bought a house for us because he used his savings as a down payment and fully pays the mortgage and almost all of our bills. We have a joint account but my paycheck has always gone directly into savings.

Many working men and women barely see their kids. I know several female doctors and lawyers who see their kids on average 1 hour a night and on the weekends. People work.

Many men do not get enough paternity leave. Some men are lucky to even get 2 weeks.[/quote]
