[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I turned 32 this year and made a resolution to find someone to settle down with. Last month I hit it off with someone who seemed great. The problem is he’s civil service, GS-14.

[b]Everyone I’ve dated in the past has been much higher income (private industry). I’m worried long term I’m going to be resentful if he can’t contribute to our lifestyle. [/b]

Should I cut him loose?[/quote]

How much are you making in comparison - Double, half, the same?  How do you define contribution to lifestyle - flexibility in work schedule , good retirement benefits, job stability, financially able to have one parent SAH in an expensive cost of living area, enough for private school and a vacation home?

Assuming this isn’t a troll post, the answer really depends on what you see as “our lifestyle” , if objectively a GS14 salary plus your salary is enough to realize that lifestyle, and how much you feel your contribution could be without feeling resentful.  Some people are fine if they are providing 75% of the income that contributes to their family’s lifestyle and some people are not.[/quote]
