[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I love the way everyone has just run with this. At the risk of being judged even more... actually, who am I kidding- Given the CERTAINTY of being judge even  more, I'll correct a few things and add a few details:

I have also been married and have 3 children that I am now raising on my own, so I too have "brought life into this world" and "focussed on my marriage"

I have a PhD in economics.

It's the way he describes his life- rather than the way I perceive it- as having been very limited by his marriage.

He has lived his whole life in one small city and I have lived in many places. He was afraid to drive in DC when he came to visit recently.

I don't think I'm better than he is. He's smart, funny, cool, competent. We are compatable on many levels. Totally on the same level mentally.

I'm just worried that I will always "have done" stuff that is new to him.

And finally, I was looking for been there, done that advice rather than judgement (wrong venue, I know!)[/quote]

Oh OP- not to be a jerk but how could you ever expect to find some kind of reasoned, compassionate advice here?  You have to understand, in your original post you postulated a concern that you might have accomplished more than the guy you are seeing.  This triggered two alarms for DCUM: one, the "person on Internet thinks she's better than someone else, and thus, me" alarm that does NOT go over well in the hyper competitive, insane world of DCUM.  Two; the "woman online thinks she's better than her man alarm" which always triggers an avalanche of misogynistic mockery and venom.

Moral of the story?  Don't listen to a bunch of people sitting online trying to make someone else feel like shit.  Their actions should speak loud enough as to the quality of the lives they lead (which is to say, fairly low)....[/quote]
