[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I met my DH at the age of 20, I just fell in love. It did not even cross my brain if he was alpha or his earing potential.  As far as earning potential, we are truly a team and I've never though of him as someone who is required to support me. I've always thought that we would support US and that is how it has been.

In my case, my DH turned out to be a hard worker and moderately ambitious, but he puts family first so he will never be a c-level exec. He enjoys coaching sports teams and likes to be home early.  We will "make do" on his 180K/yr salary and mine that is close behind.

I'm in it for life, going 17 years strong since the day we met.[/quote]

180k salary is pretty successful in my book.[/quote]

I think my DH is successful, don't get me wrong, but the question was about someone making partner.  Clearly if someone was disappointed that their DH was a loser because he did not make partner, they would think my DH a huge loser. Partners make much more than my DH.

Frankly, I could never be married to a man who is married to his job, which is one of the reasons I work. If my DH were the primary earner, I would be he would have to work a heck of a lot more in a more stressful job.  No thanks, I like having dinner each night with the whole family at 6PM.[/quote][/quote]

+1! I love having DH come home for dinner every night. "Alpha" and "winner" are childish terms used by immature people. OP, is your partner there for his kids? For you? How much of your DH's time, love and psyche are you willing to sacrifice for superficial benchmarks? Here's an alternative: If you're so dissatisfied, why don't you go out and be "alpha" and/or "winner" yourself?[/quote]
