[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is a great guy but he’s kind of a lightweight. He has a funny job that people make fun of him for and he doesn’t really have any gravitas or status in our social circle.

I see friends who admire and respect their husbands and their opinions and I wish I had that. I feel that I can’t trust his judgement. He’s not serious enough.[/quote]

What's your impressive job? How much gravitas or status do you have in your social circle? How much more $$ do you make than your husband?[/quote]

I work at State. No mean to brag but it is an “impressive” DC job. I don’t make much but I do have status.[/quote]

I mean I get it but then if status matters to you (and that’s ok - imo the best thing a person can do for themselves is to be honest in their own mind about what they really want out of life), why did you marry a private investigator instead of someone with a more impressive career?[/quote]

I love him.

I’m by no means a “career” digger. I wouldn’t marry a brain surgeon just because he’s a brain surgeon. While dating I met so many lawyers. And engineers with impressive credentials but we never clicked.

I’m in love with everything about my DH but his choice of a career grates on me some days. He can be so smart and his career is so...easy. All he does is dig dirt on people. He doesn’t require impressive thinking skills or credentials to get his job done.  I value intelligence and drive very much. So I can’t help but keeep picking at it.

He has long hours and makes better money than many impressive careers. So there’s that.[/quote]

You really need to work on yourself because you sound awful and your husband sounds great.  [/quote]
