I wish I met a girl in college. so that we would have experienced the poor thing together and I know she liked me for me.

Everything changes when you have the pinky ring, and you make well above average salary. It aint about the love or me anymore. Its about what I do.

You two are lucky. And I respect you more than I respect most girls

If you're going to be a stay-at-home mom to raise children? Is it in case your husband didn't do so well and you'd both have to work? I'm a woman. I want to be married and have children but I also want to have a career. I wouldn't feel complete without doing something else with my life that I'm passionate about.

@I just graduated: why not look for a career woman in your work environment: someone with similar interests, goals, and salary?

I have no problem with stay at home moms that have degrees. It's only when the marriage falls apart and the woman, who could easily just get a job with that advanced degree, instead demands support payments so that she can continue living the lifestyle with which she has become accustomed. It happened to a friend of mine and its infuriating. She's trying to convince the judge that my friend needs to pay her thousands of dollars in spousal support (he's happy to pay the child support). Did I mention that she owns property with her wealthy family, and is independently wealthy herself? So OP, while I respect the relationship that you have, not everyone's experience has been like yours. And that's why we comment. I'm sure your gut reactions to certain things aren't politically correct at times either. It's just human nature. Enjoy the jealousy, because that's all it is.

People are jealous and judgemental. Those are the ones making negative comments. You have something they don't. Lawyer or not, money or not, I am hoping it is a happy, loving household.

and yet, you posted here

??

If you are Fed up with people saying you have it easy, then stop hanging around those people.

You do have it easier, and trust me lady, eating Ramen and KD isn't living in hard times. There are a lot of folks who would love to have experienced your hard times.

So, please and pretty please, shut your pie ala mode hole.

Kiss the ring bitch.

If you're talking about an engineering ring, and based on the arrogance of your comments ( more than I respect most girls) you have another thing coming.

Get over yourself, your type makes the rest of us look bad.

Agree with the first post, met an amazing girl before college and then we went and got our diploma's together and were definitely poor for awhile, and just had a son to boot. But as we got older, we just drifted apart. It wasn't anyone's fault but our own. Now i can only date younger girls because all the ones in their late 20's and 30's are money hungry or expectations and want a family etc etc and it's soooo depressing because i make good money now and i'm at a point in my life where i don't want to share this with her or anyone unless i find their true feelings about me. Luckily i have an asian gf now that's 26 (i'm 35) and her parents are loaded and she doesn't care how much or little i make and does want a family one day, but isn't pressuring me about it. And she's so pretty and faithful, it's insane! I feel she might be the one since so many others i've met here are exactly what i described above. It's sad that so many are single here, but it's because of what the first person commented about and it's true!

You sound like a rocking family. I love your style and choices myself. Stop hanging out with such judgmental assholes. It's lonely at the top, Sweetie. You are fabulous, obviously. Keep shining!

I think you read into my comment wrong.

"I respect her more than I respect most girls"
Its a relative phrase, it doesn't say I don't respect most girls. It means I respect her more, for falling in love with her man when she didn't have money." because what " I agree with the first post had to say" It is quite recognizable that when the start getting older its about security more than it is about feelings for one another. Which is depressing
