I am always amazed by the number of answers those stupid trolls get.

Seriously, your husband sounds wonderful.

When we married I was so happy and felt I had picked my perfect match. But then I noticed he took a small job at a small company in the middle of nowhere and I didn’t care much as my career was impressive and occupied me. Meanwhile a few years later my friends are settling down and it’s obvious they are also interested in and seeking ambitious accomplished men, when we get together it’s all about “ wow your man is so smart” or “ wow your husband just made millions” and then they turn to me and are like, “ oh John is so adorable!”

I don’t like that condescending tone. Some have actually told me they are so surprised I ended up with him.

It gets to me.

I also feel like there must be something wrong with me that I wasn’t able to marry a “catch”


You lost me with your terrible grammar.

You married your equal, or maybe you married up.

And your conversations with your friends are bizarre.

You sound extremely shallow. I feel sorry for your husband. You should definitely leave him so he can find happiness.

Get new friends, they will likely be divorcing their DH's in a few years and you'll be rock solid in yours. If you trade in a good man to impress your superficial friends you are an idiot.

Also when you and your friends have kids, you will be so busy you will drop each other anyways because everyone needs to weed out the people we don't need in our lives anymore- it's a sign of maturity.

I feel sorry for you. You have no concept of human values.

I think Meghan Markel, whom I adore, may have a lot of women wondering whether they settled today.

It takes one loser to hook up with another "loser."

Poor son of a bitch married to this loser.

Actually, I think if you aren't a troll, which I think you are, your DH married way down.

My thoughts exactly. Either a troll or someone having a major meltdown over the royal wedding.

None of these people are making millions.


Yes, this has also been my experience. NASA, however, is a total swoon for me. Not kidding. It’s just amazing to me to interact with people actually working in rocket science.

Sure but there really is nothing special or exciting about you. You have been given everything and done nothing with it.

Total troll. No one who has graduated from a prestigious graduate program or with any education begins a sentence with “Myself and my friends...” Come back when you’ve improved your grammar.
