[quote=Anonymous]I make $250K and my husband makes $315K, so we're pretty equal in terms of earnings. We live in a HCOL area and there are plenty of SAHM who drive super expensive cars and live in huge houses and have nannies even though they don't work and it's hard not to be jealous of the financial flexibility that they have. I am grateful for my life, like my job, and am proud of my career trajectory (I'm in my early 30s and I feel like I have quite a bit of room before I peak), but if I'm being honest I would like the option not to work. That said, I dated a lot of hedge fund guys before I met my husband and many of them were not very nice people and I doubt that I'd feel like an equal if I married them, since I never felt like an equal when we were dating. I also found that the guys who I dated had a lot of secrets, whether it was a gambling addiction (one guy would get drunk and tell me that he'd bet $30K on the game) or other women who they were semi-seeing while seeing me. I never felt completely comfortable in those relationships for obvious reasons. And those guys definitely were not emotionally available. They were all kind of train wrecks.[/quote]
