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?

Prison Officer, and definitely pulls his weight at home.

Suddenly all the mumsnet answers make sense!! Mine is a builder, he works very hard and hes absolutely amazing. He earns pretty much the same as me and I'm a professional with BA and MSc.
Neither of us earn 70k

Does that happen a lot?

Cos that would explain a lot in this house and at the time dh and i get all the blame

Car mechanic

How is it a stealth boast to answer a question with the truth @ellapaella

Hes a HGV driver 4 days a week and a delivery driver 3 nights a week. Hes also a mobile mechanic the 3 days he does delivery driving.

Don't worry Stickle.
Everyone knows that it's the hobbies that are outing. Not the jobs.

This thread just seems a bit like the days when people would always ask a woman what her husband did for a living and never actually ask her what she does... I'd much rather hear about the ambitions and achievements of the actual posters rather than their husbands... why does anyone care what someone's else husband does?
No offence meant to any one particular person meant - I'm just also curious as to what the purpose of this thread is. My husbands success doesn't define me and I can't imagine it is of any importance or interest to anyone other than him or people who know him personally.
If the thread is about lack of ambition then that's not what's been discussed.

What our partners do or don’t do bears no relation to how much work they do in the home. Unless they work away, a street sweeper and an investment banker should both pull their weight if you’re working too.

My husband works in IT.

Unless they are working away from home your job and that of your DH should have no relevance on sharing childcare and home tasks - why would it?

I work around a full day to day and a half more than DH in hours over the week.

I work in a much more stressful environment, job and often have to bring work home.

He probably does 2/3 of the housework and we split child rearing equally (although I do 100% of our daughters right now - she's in utero though so I'll let him off).

So it defo impacts us

Bus driver

DP lives in a different house so his job has zero bearing on my housework. His house is a lot tidier than mine though

DP is registered blind and cannotwork.

Before disability hit me I worked in very high-level web stuff, tech editor for a publishing house, and published twice.

Receptionist at a children’s hospital

Aeronautical Engineer

I am divorced from a serially unemployed man child. Just me, DD and Ddog now. I have a very senior job in project management and earn plenty to keep us without a man!! 😁

Can't believe you all fell for this!

Who says we did? I made mine up!

Actor.

I'm definitely the breadwinner

Landscape Gardener....own business.

Ellapaella i agree with you! I've been reading this thread in horror. It's so bloody pathetic. What does your husband do? Who gives a fuck. 🤢

Mine has a logistics company and does nothing much around the house.
