OP, DO YOU POST EVERY DUCKING WEEK?



Agree. Slightly different twist but same boring thing every time. Can’t decide if OP is a low earning guy with a chip on his shoulder, a high earning loser who can’t figure out why no one likes him, or a gold digger. In any event as a high earning woman it’s offensive every time.

Both my sisters married non-high earners. Yes, they fought a lot because they were the ones doing 90% of the house/child stuff and working as well. One sister's DH eventually became a high earner, and now her life is super easy. The other one eventually divorced her lazy husband, became a single mom making not a lot of money, but was much happier (our parents helped her out with childcare and stuff).

Both married relatively young (early/mid 20s). I married later (early 30s) to a high income earner (DH was late 30s at the time), but I was also a high earner at this point. When the kids came along, unsurprisingly, we still fought over childcare etc.. because let's face it, raising kids and working is damn hard. But, life was no where near as stressful as it was for my sisters.

Smart women can optimize across more than one dimension, sweetie, and make a balance choice considering things like emotional connection, character, sexual attraction, and common values.

I married a top 10% earner and my life is still difficult.

Are you a red pill troll? I am a high earning woman with a husband who is kind, thoughtful, respectful, helpful - and also had a solid full time job that contributes to our household. I am happy. When I married my husband he was looking for a job and I didn’t know if he’d ever make more than $40k. It makes our lives easier that he’s gotten better paying jobs over the years, but I married the person I want to spend my life with and knew I could take care of us if he never got a job at all.

Is this a joke? What an absurd post. Smart women marry kind, loving, hard working decent men who pull their own weight. A women’s career does not “take a hit” once children are born. It’s 2019. There are millions of women, especially in the DC area, who just kept working, like me, and nothing changed one bit. Got a nanny and kept on with my successful career. Husband does his share of household/childcare responsibilities. We are both relatively “high earners. I am not financially dependent on him, which is good. I have my own non family achievements and love having children, a great career and happy marriage. DH is financially successful but is glad to not have all the earning responsibilities.

Financial strain can be difficult. We’ve definitely had fights and stress over money.

But he is handy around the house, which I really like. I find that wealthy men usually like the pay to have things done around the house and something about that turns me off. Even though I totally get why you’d outsource that sort of thing.

Please stop regarding potential husbands as if they were paychecks.
