[quote=Anonymous][size=18] [/size][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is great. He has his own clients and I think that’s tbe key. He spent years and years in government and would leave again if he had a position he wanted. Maybe that’s the key. He is balanced, great at his job, a rainmaker, handsome, a great dad. Seriously. He’s doing spectuactuarly at his firm income wise. [/quote]

Lol [/quote]

Sorry you’re bitter! It’s completely true. [/quote]

I’m not bitter in the slightest.  I’m laughing at the “handsome” part.  As if that’s relevant.   You sound like a Stepford Wife.  [/quote]

I’m sorry for you that you don’t care if your partner is handsome - sad and desperate. I’m not there, sorry. [/quote]

Ah, ok, so you’re a troll.  Just as I suspected.  Thanks for clearing that up. [/quote]

Seriously, you are a sad sack. A woman who is glad her husband is attractive and successful and a good dad is a troll to you. That says a lot about you and you’re clearly getting what you deserve out there. I’m no troll. [/quote]

Except this isn’t a thread about what makes a perfect husband.  It’s a thread about law firm partners and where the OP should expect to rank among his priorities.

In this context, the response is actually pretty telling.  The poster says nothing about how the law firm partner treats HER or how THEIR relationship operates.  It’s all about how good he is at his job, how much money he makes, what he looks like, and how he is as a dad.  Nothing about how or where the partner values the poster.   The OP should take note.

Well, if it makes you happy, he is also a really great partner. We’ve been together since law school and he is kind, considerate and thoughtful. He’s fun and funny and plans things for just us. My point was just that some of these guys are really good guys. Some aren’t. I’ve also worked with some real jerk run of the mill lawyers with a chip and those guys are worse, overall, I’d say. [/quote]

NP. This is why you sound like you are making things up. You say he’s a great guy after like 5-6 posts? Not really believable. [/quote]

Leave the PP alone. She stated a fact: she's happy in her marriage and her DH is a great guy. Why are you challenging her statement? Come on, now.

I'm not married to a big law partner by any means, lol,  but come on, be nice.[/quote]

Many of us have spent day in and day out working with big law partners. We have reason to be skeptical.[/quote]
