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?

@LaMarschallin - your post gave me a proper chuckle - thanks!

Investment banker. Mergers & Acquisitions to be precise.

@BathshebaAndGabriel my H is also an investment banker. No need to leave the UK because of Brexit ?! He can still live here and do deals globally, no? There was a worry about a no-deal Brexit and they'd not be regulated to work in Europe but that was unlikely to happen. Where did you move to?

Steel erector. Builds massive sheds and clads them. Not glamorous, not well paid. Long hours and hard labour.

If your interested in finding a new partner & want to avoid similar traits to your ex I'm not sure job makes that much difference tbh.

Crime scene manager

DW is a sexual health, contraception and HIV specialist nurse

EYFS and SEN teacher
I teach the bigger kids at primary.

Sgt Major in army. Pulls his weight around the house when he is here!

Why is your DH’s job relevant? Surely your own career matters more?

Senior lecturer at a university

Management consultant.

Sergeant in the Royal Marines but is retiring soon after 20 years to work at Aldi!!! Nothing against that but they give you cash to retrain once you leave!!

My partner is an actuary (well, trainee), the same as me. Maths geeks rule.

Senior Manager for multinational travel company

I'm very surprised there have been no mentions of painter decorators / plumbers / electricians

He works in tv and film.

Design manager for a big engineering company in the Midlands

Owns a construction company

@mummypigx
He’s setting up a trading desk. They’ve moved their European HQ so it’s in a European country.
Dublin. He’s commutes back and forth. Myself and the children have stayed in England.
No one is going to shed any tears for a banker though!

@Bezalelle That's great to see - definitely need more positive male role models in Early Years! (I'm a Depute head responsible for our Early Years setting)

DH is also a teacher, previously in senior management but had burnt out so went back into classroom and is loving it - I've got my happy man back!

, but my favourite is watching TV with him as he comments on the standard of the finish

DH retired exactly a year ago today from his H&S position but we still have a running commentary when watching tv about the 'right' fire extinguishers or the unsuitability of scaffolding!

To whoever mentioned binmen, I know a few commercial waste drivers who earn £35k, some a little more. It's not a lowly paid job by any means.

DH is a frensic archaeologist
