Worst job / career for a man in your eyes

[oreo1234]

I've named changed for this.

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!!!

Any kind of arty/actor of the type who takes themselves very seriously and talks about the ‘piece’ they are working on

Salesman etc

Wanker banker (although financial comfort would take the edge off)

Personally I would love to be married to a builder

Why would anyone dislike being with a marine? I don’t get it.

All my friends in the armed forces have been provided lower cost housing, is this not something you have op?

Dh was a plumber he was telling us over dinner cheers dear.

Well, thanks to the posters who kindly explained the fat thing to me ... I suppose.

I knew I was going to regret this instantly.

You can still get married quarters surely? Or are they not a thing any more? Or rent paid locally. They don’t buy you a house, that’s silly, but they did used to have lower than market rent properties. There also used to be various groups/clubs/access to gyms and playgroups etc. I left the RAF nearly 12 years ago but stay in touch with friends still serving and they certainly don’t paint a bleak picture.

I’m married to a cop, and whilst the long deployments with the military are tough, the unpredictable nature of policing, especially on slashed budgets is horrific. My DH is on 1200-2200 tonight so that really means he’ll finish any time after midnight, up to 5am tomorrow

All my friends in the armed forces have been provided lower cost housing, is this not something you have op?

Service Family Housing is only available to married personell and it's currently going through price increases to be brought more in line with market rents. The standards aren't going up though.

Who doesn't like the marines? Besides, being posted abroad is probably the only way I could have a marriage that lasted! I can deal with a man who spends a great deal of time away. The danger might be worrying, though.

Gynaecologist.
Imagine your husband coming home after a whole day of......

For me it would be more important that he works hard and is committed to bringing in a wage for his family. If he could do a really awful job to bring home a wage for his family I would respect him for that...

IS THE OP not married to her marine? Does she know they’re famous for dressing as butch looking women on laity nights out? (Which is anyone’s prerogative and butch could as easily be non-butch or...before I get a thread-derailing telling off)

@ShadyLady53 I’m interested that you consider porn to be immoral. Even if it’s consenting, non coerced adults having sex with consenting, non coerced adults?

I would understand not wanting a partner who was sleeping with other people, but I wouldn’t call porn immoral. Not trying to start an argument, just interested

Personally I would love to be married to a builder

I've always thought I should have married a plumber or an auto mechanic. I would have saved so much money over the years....

I don't get what's wrong with being married to a Marine. It wouldn't eve cross my mind as one of the worst careers a man could have. But, I do love a man in uniform.

Yes we are married. Me and the kids live in our home city 341miles away from where he is based. We get no help with the commute costs or mortgage payments. He buys his food and kit. We could have moved to be closer to base but when I had our first he was in Afghanistan so I stopped here to be near my family.

Because of the danger. Separation. Lack of emotion and cheating I guess. I'm not sure but every time I ask advice on something and they ask what my husband does then all the above get mentioned.

My uncle ran his own building/window fitting company. His house was always a building site. He'd get an idea in his head, get all excited and start knocking down walls and then come home from work to knackered to finish. All his employees were the same. My aunt always joked she wished she'd married a cleaner. A half cleaned house is something she could have lived with.

Forces spouse is tough. You have my sympathy and admiration OP.

@Bunnyfuller non of that applies to us we don't live near camp

Door-to-door salesman

People including my mum, sister etc say I knew what I was getting into but I didn't. How can you. I didn't even know what a marine was when we met up.

Working on the till in a shop.

Teacher (in all my friends cases the teachers they've been with are all at it, seems to be one of those type of jobs)

What do you mean “all at it”?

Debt collector & abattoir worker fine.
Let's face it, binmen are gonna struggle not to bring the odour home. Ditto sewage workers.

Only really want to rule out criminal things.

All at what??
