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?

School teacher but he left 7 years ago claiming early retirement, essentially leaving me as defacto bread winner. I left him 2 years ago.

Also pulls his weight 100% at home, we are an equal partnership. Seems to be a bit of a rarity according to some mumsnet posts.

@LionelRitchieStoleMyNotebook. Don’t worry, I make up for the lack of bin men etc with my £15k a year full time job.

My dc father is a builder, I’ll give him a mention if it helps to even things out? Grin

A chef. Long hours, few breaks, not as much money as you'd think. He misses everything and comes home stinky and knackered but he loves it and is that rare breed, a non-angry chef!

If I told you I'd have to kill you.
