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?

Senior management for international company. Certainly not millionaires though, or anywhere near. Okay money, but we have to live near London & he has to travel lots.

Software engineer.

SploshMeBackwards · 27/12/2019 18:12

He's a games designer and he also does something else part time too but it would be outing to say what it is. Either way, he earns a good wage as do I, yet, those who know us, particularly the school run crowd 🙄 used to assume otherwise. Now they couldn't be any more up our arses if they tried 😆😆😆

Mine was a logistics and warehouse manager for a car parts company before he was made redundant.

He's now a FLT driver with a large DIY chain. They keep offering him a promotion to warehouse manager but he's happy to go in, do his job and come home without managerial responsibility now.

Manager for Greggs. Sounds dull but he loves it and tbf it’s an amazing company to work for. They actually pay well and look after their staff

Redwoodmaz · 27/12/2019 18:16

Mine is retired. He sold his business that we ran, 2.5 years ago at 57. In theory it was perfect. In practice it's driving me mad. I reckon we could be divorced this time next year...

frazzledtofook · 27/12/2019 18:18

Works away in the construction industry. Dread the day he doesn't work away as two weeks at Christmas is pushing me over the edge. He's turned into a self centred arsehole.
