[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is as terrible as many of the PPs. But I think you do have to break it down by category for the numbers to mean anything. I would say that in terms of looks, DH and I are similar, maybe both 5s. Intellectually, both 9s. Money has fluctuated -- when we met he was in law school and I was working, and I made more for a while, then he did, then I became a SAHM and he makes way more now than I ever did. I don't know if that means I married up since we both had about the same earning potential but he is the one pursuing the career while I dropped out for the kids. In terms of personality, I definitely married up, he has a much better personality than I do (more self-assured, less emotional, very even-keeled, less impulsive, more able to get along with a greater variety of people, etc.). Overall I consider myself an extremely lucky woman to have him.[/quote]

But I bet he considers himself lucky,too. That's the thing - he clearly sees something in you. Differences that compliment each other are attractive, right? So who really "married up"? [/quote]
