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?

Actor here too

I'm just also curious as to what the purpose of this thread is

It’s a little insight into other posters’ lives. It’s no more or less meaningful or interesting than subjects like ‘what are you wearing today?’ or ‘what’s your household doing?’ Personally I find all of these interesting, although I realise not everyone might.

There are a million threads about the posters dreams and careers why is it so wrong to ask what their partners do?

It's not just that though.
The (first time of posting) OP engaged people by saying that she'd been called a gold-digger despite her ex being workshy.

It sounded like an invitation to a discussion rather than a "What earrings are you wearing today?" thread.
Plenty of people tried to engage and some also asked the OP what she did and what her husband did (myself included).

The OP never returned, so what's left is a vague survey with some people lying and some people taking the piss (I returned to do that, hopefully very obviously).

I think it's very reasonable to question the point behind this: shoddy journalism? Pointless (because meaningless) survey for some study? Russian bots wanting to know which industries to target to take out the men-folk allied to MN?

Yes, I'm talking the piss again with my last suggestion, but it seems an odd thread to me.

Geologist

PS I certainly wouldn't post any true information about myself on this thread, that's for sure.

Fixes broken sound equipment.

Electronics engineer if I we want to sound fancier!!

Actually come to think of it Lamarshalin, your remark about Russian bots isn't so daft. I've changed my mind. My DH is an astronaut

I don't actually know what my DP does - he's tried to tell me a few times in the 7 years we've been together, but he can't explain it very well and I switch off....zzzz.

It doesn't sound like particularly taxing work, lots of chatting shit and meetings/spreadsheets - apparently it pays well though

We don't live together because his house is a shit tip. I work at home, my house is OK but could be tidier. Luckily DP pays for a cleaner for both our houses, which helps keep on top of it, but if we ever lived together he'd have to pull his weight a bit more, which is probably the main reason he won't live with me!

Singer, good money but he is never around and even though I trust him there is still that element of doubt (doesn’t help we had a stalker incident not too long ago)

Fireman and on-call fireman.

Occupational therapist. Boring and drinks a lot of coffee.

it sounded like an invitation to a discussion rather than a "What earrings are you wearing today?" thread.
But some people chose to treat it like an earrings thread, which is fine. nothing to get aerated about.

Odds are at least 75% of these answer are BS anyway

Senior Production manager for a defence company.. keeps him out of trouble 😂

Why? Because you can’t imagine anyone has a good job? It all seems quite plausible to me, but then almost all the people I know are all Uni educated and in their 40’s. We all have good jobs.

If you and your partner are graduates and most of your friends are too, then it's no surprise if you all have well paid careers is it?

This thread is just too mysterious.
