[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My husband was able to become a big law partner because he married me.[/b] He will be the first to tell you this, and tells everyone we know this. So for him, a man, marrying me was definitely a good financial decision.

Marrying him was ironically not my best financial decision. He never expected to make partner when we met and wanted to leave law (something I supported). Mine was investing in real estate in a city that took off. [/quote]

This is so not true.  There are many, many married associates with wonderful and supportive spouses who don't make partner.  Your husband made partner because he had the goods.  Give him some credit.[/quote]

You are misunderstanding my point. This has nothing to do with other people and their lives. If my husband hadn't married me, he wouldn't have made partner. Our marriage helped his particular trajectory, for a variety of reasons. It's not like marrying me would have made those other associated partner. I'm not magic. [/quote]

Unless you sent him a big book of business, or did his work for him, or blackmailed the partnership committee with compromising photos or information, your "help" was no different in kind or amount than any other good spouse.    [/quote]

I did, in fact, do one of those things. [/quote]
