[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My STEM guy is pretty awesome. He's a great dad, equal partner, and values my smarts too. Plus he's hot, laid back, and values logic/consideration of options rather than rash decision making or digging in on an issue even if he's wrong. The only annoying STEM-type trait is the fact he's very introverted and not really prone to expressing emotion.
He's an academic, so definitely isn't making the big bucks.[/quote]

+1 on most of this for my CS architect DH. Kind, smart, thoughtful. Great husband. Great dad.  Treats the kids and I very well, and values me as an equal partner.  Makes about 250k a year at a smudge over 40-  no managerial role, just programming (but he is the top programmer in his organization). With my fed professional salary, we are comfortable. I lucked out for sure. The catch?  He's a night owl and I'm not. About half the time he comes to bed with me, and the other half, he programs from 10pm-2am, which is his most efficient time.  He's a touch ADD, and tend to overcommit.  And he's a strong introvert. But so am I and both DCs, so I don't view this as a negative. Everyone in our house is happier with minimal noise, more downtime, and less social interaction. 17 years in, I regret nothing. [/quote]
