[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lie about it all the time.  My DH makes an obscene amount of money.  I try to avoid questions about it, but I definitely downplay things.  [/quote]

Please indulge us with obscenities… its a anon forum.  How much is obscene?
FWIW I make a pedestrian amount of money.

I am fascinated.  I make just over 10% of your husband's salary, and while we're not rich rich, we're certainly well off.  (Please save the "you are so rich, you entitled twat" screams for another thread.)  But I have wondered how I would react if my income suddenly increased to that level.  (It's not likely, but it's a remote possibility.)  I think I would work for 3-5 more years, living like we do now (which is pretty damn good) and then I'd be done.  Has your husband had any thoughts like that?  [/quote]

I am in the midst of a separation.  DH really, really likes the money and the power/prestige that comes with it.  I am more grounded so to speak.  I would have given it all up to have a husband who was home more and a better father.  The more money he made, the more entitled he became.  He was not a moral person (although he truly believes that he is).  To be honest, my life-style didn't change all that much from when he made less money.  We had a bigger, nicer home and stayed at nicer hotels when we travelled.  I still couldn't bring myself to buy Gucci or LV purses.  DH grew up with a chip on his shoulder about being poor.  Making big money was very important to him.  He was generous with it (family/charities), but the more he made -- the more his priorities became warped.  He'll never make enough to feel happy.[/quote]
Wow our DHs must have been separated at birth. Good luck. [/quote]
