[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you OP? I'm wondering if this is a micro-generational thing (i.e. people a few years younger than me).

I'm mid-40s, and I got married at 31. We are dual-career, but for 15+ years DH's career took precedence as he was in a higher earning career...and I put a higher priority on time spent with kids when they were little. This is pretty common among the couples I graduated with etc.

DH has been less of a contributor around the house and with kids which has been a sore subject in the past, but it would be hard to honestly argue that he is "low value" to our family.[/quote]

Same. In fact, reading this thread makes me want to be extra nice to DH tonight.  We have comparable educations and started our careers on a similar track, but something had to give, so I made more time for the kids, and he's been more career-focused.

You should be able to discern when you are dating if someone is hardworking, ambitious, and a go-getter.  If they're not those things you are, then they are not partnership material.  Women are rarely interested in carrying the weight of a lazy husband in a marriage.  You also should not commit to someone who doesn't have shared values around finances, family, religion, and sex.
