Hey I have no problem w/ women who want the men with everything except I have a problem when women go after men for money and success. Women either build success w/ their men or stand by them as they earn it or they build their fortunes together. I take great issue when women marry for money! Glad my husband and I had built together!
That sounds refreshing. Sounds like your husband married a good woman

I'll join with Chowhound in congratulating you and your husband, but what of the women that ride the train DOWN with their mate? Are they to be any less honored? Or should that be a new thread?

Thanks Chow. I think the only way to feel good about yourself in this life is to earn what you have. Too many out there not willing to work for what they have. It's not right. Then you also have the situation w/ divorce and women unable to take care of themselves if they rely on a man too much. Women and men have to be very careful and make sure both people are able to be self sufficient.

I'm sorry, what do you mean ride the train down? like go broke? You stick it out. If you have all the qualities you wanted to begin with, then money isn't the issue to begin with. Money can come and go. Love is the ultimate and not the important factor in the relationship. That is why I am happy we got married and had our lean times. Mind you our struggles weren't bad but we were renting when we got married. If you go broke, you build it back up, but it shouldn't destroy a relationship either. We live like we do now like we did when we were first married. We have more but we are just as frugal. We never forgot how we scrimped and don't want to forget. We celebrate our love nothing else. If that makes sense. Then I guess you look at your spouse and they look better to you, you grow and more sensitivity and all the other stuff as you evolve. If that makes sense.
I think it's all about confidence. I love men who are confident, yet not cocky. Also, someone with a great sense of humor. My dad is the "macho" type, and my hubby is confident and self assured..love a man who takes charge!

A wonderful response, and yes it does make sense...
...except that I seem to recall the stats saying most domestic disagreements take place over money. I'd think that would in many cases lead to divorce...
Personally, I've always been of the opinion that it's hard to pay the rent or buy food with love, but that might be because I'm such a grouch.

If it's any consolation, you're certainly not the only grouch!
