[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds immature, unkind, and ungrateful and I'm guessing when you work it out in therapy, it will become clear he always had those character traits (even when grading him on a curve for age, since it seems like you got together when young).
Character counts.  Hard eyeroll to the dimwit who thinks it's emasculating for a woman to bring more income to a household, yet it's not unmanly to walk out on a family and go be a kid again.

This.

It's not you...it's him.

But to answer your question:

1. DH and I truly love eachother and are best friends. 
2. We decided at the outset that we were in it for the long haul. The fact that our parents were happily married increased our odds for marital stability. 
3. DH isn't selfish. He's a giver. A provider. And an all around decent, moral guy. Some girls would overlook him because he is a "nice guy." I strategically sought out a good guy. 
4. DH is healthy and would never do drugs. Never. Again: I picked a good guy, not a reckless party animal.
5. DH is a family guy. Our kids and their happiness is his priority. He thinks deadbeat dads are losers. Again: you can usually find a nice guy with these basic values.
6. [b][color=blue]We prioritize intimacy in order to maintain our connection. I think this is key to a happy marriage.[/color] [/b]
7. We are partners. 50-50. I currently earn twice his salary, but in the past he has been the breadwinner. Since we're a team and all the money goes into a joint account, it doesn't matter. If you play tit for tat, you will be miserable. [/quote]
Finally (after 3 pages) we have a single DCUM woman who has correctly answered the subject question.[/quote]
