[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eww. You're perpetuating the worst stereotypes about women being gold-diggers.

When I started dating my husband, he was a scruffy guy just out of grad school making $35K/year. He drove a crappy car that barely worked and survived on tacos from 24-hour taco stands.[b] I saw his potential and fell in love with him. [/b]Fast forward 6 years and he's making $230K/year + stock.  [/quote]

You’re agreeing with PP. You saw his potential to make a lot of money and fell in love with him.

Pot meet kettle [/quote]

When did I say that? You're reading into it and making assumptions. I saw his potential AS A PERSON. I care that he's making more because, at the time, he was on the brink of declaring bankruptcy and had gained 60 pounds from depression.

When I said "potential," I meant I saw in him the ability to craft a happier life for himself. One where he wasn't depressed, in poverty, and unhealthy. [/quote]

Omg, own it. You protest too much.

If you were talking about his potential as a PERSON, your next line would not have been his six-figure salary. Oh, can’t forget the stock BONUS.

No mention how he blossomed as a human being or surprised you as how great a dad he was. Just salary. And of course bonus. [/quote]
