[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having grown up in poverty it’s really hard for me to understand women complaining about their husbands making less than six figures. To me marriage was always about love, partnership, and parenting than a guarantee of a certain standard of living.

Now women who complain about their partners not participating in parenting or their share of household chores…that I get and it would infuriate me. [/quote]

They didn't grow up in poverty though, so why would they want to lower their standards? Do you want to lower your standards from the wealth you grew up in?[/quote]

Ordinarily I don’t care about people having different desires in life. And I don’t really judge Someone for wanting a high/earning spouse. But the living standards that these women have are superficial and are just making them bitter and unable to see what life is offering them. I’m not talking about having health insurance-type standards, I’m taking about kids being able to do sleep away camp type standards. So when somebody passes over potentially really strong life partners because they want extra bonuses in life that won’t actually make them happy, I don’t get it. [/quote]

It's not about my happiness at all. I didn't entertain future low earners as a life partner because I knew that a high-earning partner would be able to provide more food/housing/opportunities/security for my future children. I married my husband when he was dirt poor, but he cared about financial security and had a high-earning career trajectory. [/quote]
