[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  Are they jealous?   DH is a high earner and is an amazing husband and dad.  Sounds like despite being a high earner he makes time for you now and is a good bf.  DH hasn't changed in the 17 years we've been together.  Has always been great.  [/quote]

I don’t think they are jealous. Some of these women are older ladies who tell me how bad it is to be in charge of kids and the house and all the husband does is make a paycheck. They warned me that this will be my life is I choose a man who works too much. [/quote]

Well...does he work too much?   DH is a high earner but he doesn't work to the point that I'm in charge of everything.   He cooks a lot of dinners, takes DS to a lot of activities, helps coach one of his sports teams, helps around the house, etc.  So I suppose it depends.   High earner doesn't automatically equal someone who works so much they are never around.  [/quote]
Most high earners work a lot and don’t spend as much time with wife and kids. Your DH may be an exception. Or maybe he’s not earning enough to be a high earner.
Is he making at least $1m?[/quote]

Oh I love the laughable and stupidly out of touch dc bubble. 99% of the world doesn’t make $1 million. Op said her guy makes 400k+ plus which is in the top 5% of earnings. With the median income of $65k and dc being 106k, he is considered a high earner. Only in the dumb dc bubble do people think making 1m is normal and anything less isn’t a 
“ high earner”. The irony that some of the people on here who claim to be the most educated, are seriously dumb and so out of touch with 99% of the real world. [/quote]
