Wealth and status wasn’t a priority for me. I did have several offers but usually felt they didn’t really see past my looks and care about the real me, a couple were arrogant, one was obviously going to be a cheater, and one was so kind and affectionate but incredibly boring.
I married someone as kind, truthful, and loyal as possible, very good looking and funny. He’s not rich but works hard to provide for our family. Friends envy our peaceful marriage and how involved he is as father. My child adores him. I feel very good that I gave my child an exceptional father.
Anyone else not prioritize wealth? How did it play out for you?
I think you are just talking about money? Your husband sounds very high status, as assessed by you, in other ways. Nice!!
