[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  Are they jealous?   DH is a high earner and is an amazing husband and dad.  Sounds like despite being a high earner he makes time for you now and is a good bf.  DH hasn't changed in the 17 years we've been together.  Has always been great.  [/quote]

I don’t think they are jealous. Some of these women are older ladies who tell me how bad it is to be in charge of kids and the house and all the husband does is make a paycheck. They warned me that this will be my life is I choose a man who works too much. [/quote]

They are jealous.

And whether or not a man shares his burden in housework and kid raising is not necessarily related to how much he earns. Plenty of slacker husbands out there who don't earn that much or a ton and still make the woman do most of the work.[/quote]

DP here. I'm not jealous of the money since we have plenty. And I love my DH's personality and the attention he gives us when he can. I wouldn't trade him.

But yes I am a little envious of a husband who can make a lot of money and not have to work evenings and weekends with at least some regularity. WFH/technology has made parts of that better and parts of it worse.

If a spouse makes a lot, does not have to be responsive on nights/weekends, AND is a loving, involved family man, that is really wonderful for his family. [/quote]
