[quote=Anonymous]I did. DH and I met in college and I grew up much more wealthy than he did (my father was a partner in a large law firm) and also inherited money when my maternal grandfather died. When we got married neither of us was making much (I had just finished grad school, he was a PhD student). While he continued in grad school I substantially out earned him and for the first years after grad school (post-doc and early career) I continued to out earn him. We now have similar incomes, but only in the past few years.

We’ve now been together over 20 years and have two elementary school children. Life is busy and the balance can be hard but most of the time it’s not about finances. My family’s interests and priorities are different so we don’t always blend well, but we don’t see our families often. There are times I think it would have been nice to marry wealthier and maintain the lifestyle I grew up with, but we do fine and my husband is much more available to me and my children than my dad was to my family growing up.
