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?

Same here @CurlsandCurves glad to find another plumber spouse on here! He is a bright man, and does very well, we go on lovely holidays, have a comfortable life, nice home, and he has had his own successful business established since his mid twenties. I’m immensely proud of him. But apparently his profession condemns us to Netmums 🤷‍♀️

Oh, I’m a gold digger too...I just knew he’d keep me well when he started out on £2.50 an hour all those years ago...

Next in line to the throne

Train Driver.

Forklift driver. Works shifts which was a life saver with childcare when DS was younger.

Don’t have a DH. Don’t think I ever will. Proper on the shelf am I! But at least I don’t have to worry about aibus like these....

Tree Surgeon, we both are although I’m not on the tools much now. We have a small income, most of our money goes on accreditation’s, kit & fuel.

International bounty hunter

What's the point of this post?

Team leader for a factory making parts for sports cars

He's the commercial director for a national property development company.

He’s my steward/slave and has his own business.

Builder/ decorator. Very proud. My 5 year old son also wants to follow in his footsteps which is great as there will probably be a demand for jobs of this ilk then as all the Dads/ Granddads who fix things now will be gone!

Head Horse Groomer. 17k. Loves his job.

Environment artist for computer games company

Nothing "for a living". He's a SAHD and primary carer for our disabled son.

DH is a Karate Instructor/Sensei, loves his job. We’re not loaded but he’s fit and fast

Part time caretaker on a housing estate.

Nothing. He was super frugal in his twenties and thirties, and now has enough savings not to have to work, so he doesn't.

A government department and I wasn't allowed to tell anyone what he did. DD, when asked as a child, used to say that daddy works for the Queen.

Nothing. He was super frugal in his twenties and thirties, and now has enough savings not to have to work, so he doesn't

Does he get taxed on that?

How frugal was he? No holidays, beans on toast for lunch and dinner?

Banker

MD of a steel manufacturer company, he's highly stressed most of the time and earns more than double what I do but I don't believe he works any harder and he's certainly not in the office as long as I'm at work each day. He does however do his fair share at home but we have cleaner who does more than both of us lol

He diddles with websites. That's about as much as I understand. Words like 'website architecture' 'user journey' get bandied about a bit....

He’s a brilliant primary school PE Teacher, qualified a bit later in life, I’m also a teacher bit more senior and taught longer so I earn more.... he’s the gold digger loooool! ..... he’s not really just joking

School Teacher and did not even reach half of £70k after 40 years of teaching !!!
