[quote=Anonymous][quote]+1 I think it takes a huge ego to make it in big law. Would be tough to be married to that.

This is an assumption that isn't really accurate.  My DH is a big law partner and I was also a big law lawyer before retiring.  There are lots of axxholes for sure, but an equally nice number of really good men who truly value their family life and are involved parents. My own DH makes lots of money and has always prioritized being at our kids' games, back to school nights, etc.  Now that he has been at this level for a while (mid 50s), he has more flexibility but definitely does not have complete control over his schedule (because clients can be demanding and unreasonable).  Still, he can leave the beach and go to back to the room to do a conference call mid-day, or set up early morning zooms if we have plans in the afternoon.  It works. I do know some of his partners never lift a finger at home and definitely exhibit narcissistic traits, but there are all kinds.[/quote]
