To ask what does your DH/DP do for a living?

[boxingdaysales]

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' Never again.

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

Civil engineer

I have just asked him (no idea what his job title is), customer and insight director. He works very hard. Not around much during the week but pulls his weight when he can.

Just wondering why you don't want to know what the women do as well? I find the partnership / jobs dynamic and how people make it work much more interesting than 'my husband does this brag, brag, brag'

I work as well btw

My OH and I both work in retail (both Band 2, so above minimum wage) and bring home a similar income.

Construction/offshore/rail auditor, Quality, safety, environmental, document, manager, diver, hydrographic surveyor, welding engineer, radiographer, and consultant worldwide. Does all or some of these depending on the contract requirements and type of job needed?

Previously in an 80s band. They did very very well. DH made some good investments and every few years they have another come back tour which keeps us living well. But he does sweet FA around the house. Spends more time in front of the mirror than he does with me. If anyone knew what he was really like they really really wouldn't swoon. But I wouldn't change him really.

he is vastly experienced and knows more about the aircraft than the people who designed them and the people who fly them put together.

My BIL has the same job and the same chip on his shoulder too.

Ooooh give us a clue @Lostintransfixation I was a teen in the 80s.

Managing Director of his own business (bespoke furniture). I'm now working there full time too, in charge of the office/business administration. I resisted for 20 years but necessity meant I had to crack and join in

He works harder than anyone I know, but the trade off is that he's totally knackered and mentally drained by the time he gets home

@Lostintransfixation in Australia?

My DH is an Oscar-winning Actor.

You only needed to say the job, not the awards.

My husband is a mental health nurse for over 65s. I am also a nurse but general medicine. Both extremely proud of our NHS uniforms.

Store manager for a supermarket chain. Money is pretty shit. Salaried so quite abit of unpaid overtime, which is annoying but have to remember the bonus' are brilliant, so kind of makes up for it.
It's what they wanted to do and have aimed for for the last 4 years, so it's all good. I earn triple what they do so it's all good. We are sensible and more than comfortable.

Husband is a Head Chef, and I am a Protection Adviser

Investment banker.

Agricultural Sales Manager

Manager in global engineering company.

Unless he had significant independent/family wealth and you did naff all, can't see how you could be classed as a gold digger? Are you going to explain OP?

FE College Lecturer

Electrician.

Chef. Works 50+ hours most weeks. Barely seen him this Christmas!

Scaffolding supervisor.

Barrister. Lot less glamorous than you’d think!

Surgeon

My ex was an alarm installation engineer. Fitted fire alarms, burglar alarms, security alarms etc.

Ooh @lostintransfixation is your real name Rio?
