[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH made half of what I did when we met 15 years ago, but I didn’t care because he’s a great human and now dad all around. He ended up switching careers completely and now the roles are reversed. OP, you seem to want to live a lifestyle he can’t provide, do both yourselves a favor and let him go.

Also, agree with PP. Have no issues eating at Olive Garden :)[/quote]

I love how this is offered as if you're so past being superficial. But if this switch hadn't happened, you'd be here complaining.[/quote]

This. Marrying a smart temporarily low earning guy with ambition at the start of his career is different from marrying someone who has no potential for upside.[/quote]

People define ambition and potential differently. I’m very ambitious, but it’s toward doing what I do well and not toward filling my bank account.

Perhaps this guy has bucketloads of potential, but it’s measured in something other than event tickets and dinner reservations. It sounds like he’d rather contribute to society than take from it. That sounds pretty amazing to me.

When you’re dead, no one care who you were or what you did.  Make money and enjoy life while you are alive.[/quote]

Not quite. People care about your kindness/positive qualities and what you contributed. They don’t remotely care about how wealthy you were.

And how much money do I need to enjoy life? Much of what I love costs nothing.[/quote]
