[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol you're a morin. Ask your kids what they would prefer.... You to pay for their wedding and a house but you get divorced and are still miserable. OR you don't provide those things but get a less stressful job and don't completely ruin their lives with a divorce.

I'm with your DH. It seems like you guys could still have a nice life if you took a lower stress job.   It's not like he's forcing you to stay in your job. I also don't get why you married him. [/quote]

Because he is handsome and funny, and when I expressed reservations to friends or family about his earning potential everyone called me shallow. The people calling me shallow are all married to high earners, btw.  I was dumb not to level with myself about my values. Huge, life ruining mistake. [/quote]

OP, the problem here is that you don’t like the person you married, not some ridiculous conjecture about how women need an alpha male. [/quote]

Maybe. But do you really not believe that women prefer men who want to work hard for their families? Really? Do you deny that women prefer tall men too? [/quote]

He has a good government job, presumably with health insurance and retirement plan! Sounds great to me. I’m married to a lower earner with excellent benefits and I’m a teacher. Maybe it’s just that I know I’ll never be wealthy, but I love my husband. Neither of us would work if we could get away with it.

Your values are on you. Own them. Don’t try and comfort yourself by trying to prove they’re not warped by greed and materialism. [/quote]
