In your opinion. Not listening to social media or hear say or stereotypes.

If you were to go on a date what would be the one job that would put you off?

I think my husbands would come in the top 3 😩😩😩.

It's not new we have been together 12 years but when I mention it on here no matter what the bloody subject is they use his job as the reason for my post!!!

If he is a chef, I assure you there is nothing wrong with that! It didn't suit DP due to the hours after DD was born, when he left cheffing it suited me perfectly...extra time to cook me yummy food! 😋

So - your DH is in the army then.

Why is that a bad thing? Or maybe it's not, for you.

Fromage · 08/01/2019 20:20

BrightStarrySky surely it would be worse if the dh were the one modelling the bikinis? (or his own tits) Grin

Not army no but similar

MP for the conservatives, UKIP or BNP or a pimp. Otherwise, a job is a job. I respect anyone willing to work for a living, though my ideal partner would work on the rigs, or be a lorry driver, or work overseas Grin

He works over seas

Salvation Army?

TitsalinaBumSquash · 08/01/2019 20:22

Pilots always get a bad rap here, I don't think I could deal with any job that involves DH being away a lot or for long periods of time so military or pilot would be top of my 'no no' list.
