[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all very specific to your own situation.

Yes, millions have married low-earning spouses and it has turned out okay. There are also those who have married low-earners and it's turned out poorly.

What is your income like? What's the COL in your area? What kind of lifestyle do you want? What kind of lifestyle does he want? How many children?

No one can reassure you. You and your partner should discuss this together. Perhaps see a financial counselor.[/quote]

I am currently between jobs as I was recently let go. I do not earn very much and [b]did not focus on making a ton thinking it would fall on my husband when I eventually married[/b].

I'd like a decent UMC lifestyle with 2 children. I realize with this man that seems out of the question. We will probably live a stressed out paycheck to paycheck life with maybe 1 kid?

Every relationship is a compromise right? No one is perfect.[/quote]

I sure hope your partner realizes that his future family's financial stability falls solely on him since you have decided to shed all responsibility for it.

You want an UMC lifestyle? Then pull your own weight. [/quote]
