[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find OP's post funny since 70K is coincidentally the threshold above which additional money does not seem to correlate with happiness. It seems like her husband is actually working quite smart.[/quote]

Please. you have to be a real fool to have collected 2 degrees with honors and still manage to only make as much as an executive secretary.[/quote]

That's what I mean. He's graduated from really well respected private schools. He was groomed to do so much more. [/quote]
But based on your own description of him, he's never been the grab life by the balls type, and this was evident in his courtship of you. So why are you surprised now? What did you think would happen?[/quote]

Well I was young and naive. He talked the talk. Everything I was looking for:

A.good character
B.desire to get married and loved children 
C.good relations with his family
D. Very erudite and well educated.
E. Talked of wanting to take care of his family

Etc.
Those talks I found out, aren't bs led up by action. He said he wanted to get married but waiting a long time to propose, etc.

So he has good intentions, he is just so slow and unmotivated to go get what he wants and muses about.[/quote]
This is one reason it's wise to get married a little later rather than doing everything you can to 'land' a husband in your mid 20's- you'll have time to see more of how they turn out, if they do what they say they will do, if they realize some of that potential you're banking on.
I realize it's too late for you in this regard OP, but something other women should consider.[/quote]

Please.

I met my DH in college at age 20. BS greduate from a Public school. He was focused and determinded. we purchased our first home at age 23. Being a provider has always been in his DNA. You absolutely can tell when a man is ambitious and acts on his goals. He has even had 3 total career changes in order to grow and learn more and become more valuable in the workforce.

It's hot. Those guys are hot. They can be spotted a mile away.[/quote]

It's unreal that you don't seem to realize that luck played a huge role in your husband panning out to be who you thought he'd be. If you want to think your 20 year old self was just that astute (and psychic) fine, but no one believes you.[/quote]

Some of us find drive and ambition attractive.  Even at 20, I dated confident men who knew what they wanted.[/quote]

Yes.  They wanted to sleep with a 20 year old.  There's a yin to every yang and "confident" men may not be all they're cracked up to be, either.[/quote]

Yup. When we were 20 we had a lot of sex.  At 40 we still have a lot of sex.[/quote]
