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?

Dh is a supervisor in a payments team for share dealing, we work in the same department but not in the same team (wouldn't be allowed)

Academic doctor. Earns 45k not 70k!

Welder

Retail manager, which is something I don’t think many realise is as poorly paid as it is. He isn’t lazy and works incredibly hard for less than £20k, and I’m happy with that as long as he is.

And pulls his weight at home

Engineer - toolmaker by trade

Roofer

Mine is 62 and has been ‘easing into’ retirement for several years now! I would say on average he works one or two days a week. He does event security (Supervisory) mostly but occasionally still does Close Protection if it’s somebody he likes (rare!)

Mechanical engineer.

Scrum Master at a nuclear research facility

Ex was an IT guy and horrible, also financially abusive.

DH is a designer. Doesn’t earn as much as IT but I feel far richer

@RunQRun I'm married to a -bespoke furniture craftsman- joiner as well. Does your DH spend inordinate amounts of time staring down the line of an upturned piece of wood to check if it's straight too?

strike fail!

Analytics consultant. Or a spreadsheet nerd as I call him.

Ex is a professor, dp is a director of a company

Some people on MN are complete fantasists. Not me. My husband is the current prime minister of Canada.

Boat designer

It's too outing to tell you. He also has a very outing secret hobby which I need to start many threads about and refuse to disclose said outing hobby.

(It isn't, and he doesn't, but I fucking hate threads like these)

Blacksmith

We both have very different jobs. We both love our jobs. His is more fun.

Bouncer. No 70k salaries in this household unfortunately!

Nothing, I don't have either

Senior manager bridging R&D and marketing in a reasonably large company. I have a more senior role in a different company, and earned roughly twice what he did last year. MIL still believes I’m a gold digger.

@leghairdontcare

He was an engineer but retired now and a bit bored some days.
