Was married to someone for 6 years who did fuck all in or out of the house. He's very workshy and his lack of ambition and laziness killed any love I had for him. I couldn't respect him. Funny enough I was made to feel a 'gold digger' Hmm Never again.

So I'm just curious, what does your DH do for a living?

Griller at Nandos. I’m not a gold digger but he does bring home left over chicken wings sometimes!

My job is much more interesting and much less demanding. It also pays the same. Go me.

Makes no difference whether you or your DH are pilots or 'senior pilots!!' a pilot is a pilot!!!

An explanation of what it means to be a senior pilot, and how seniority works in airlines.

Apparently he is a prince of the realm. He's a boring slaphead. I think he might be gay as well.

HoldMyLobster · 26/12/2019 22:24

Quite depressing that women feel the need to stress that they are not gold diggers if their DH has a high paying job.

But it's not coming out of nowhere. They're responding to the OP.

Frothing instructor. She trains baristas in banging the jugs of froth before pouring the hot milk. It’s more complex than you think. Very poorly paid but satisfying.

@Catinheat I'm sure you can't say what team but could you tell us which league??

DH is a transponster......in other words I have no idea but it's IT based and is like looking at the matrix!
