Oh, and my wife's making more than I am now. There's no shame in that and it's silly that people would consider it to be so. We're all equal to our own abilities, regardless of gender, race, or handicaps. I know, I know - that's one of them "librul" ideas.

If Miz t. had been able to make MORE than me I'd have said 'have at it' and stayed home if we could afford it.

Wait Wut

Congratulations to you both! Don't forget about us little folk!!

Oh, and I've made more money than almost every single man I've dated and/or been married to. Some handle it really well, others couldn't deal with it. Which was the best indicator of where our relationship was headed.

we can take the normal beach crowd

I'm so happy (it shows) I could bust.

Literally everything fell together in every way in the perfect way..in a dream i wouldnt have dreamed it would have fell together this good.

I'm gonna walk away from this disaster place we have with ..at worst..no loss...and I'm moving to my lifelong dream with everything better than I could have hoped for.

Backwoodsbob doesn't seem to express what you will be soon.

Congrats. I feel excited just because SOMEONE is getting their dream....even if it isn't me. But I feel just as good knowing that it is possible for one of us.

And if anyone has a problem with your wife making more money than you do.....tell them for me to kiss my butt. This is not the mid 20th Century anymore.

Good for you BOTH!

we fight better face to face

Seriously..we realized the area more than each other had us at each others throats.We were both bored silly here so we checked out SC where one of my company plants are and fell absolutely in love with it.

It's the ultimate compromise.She has never lived outside BFE and this area isn't so big that it overwhelms her and me being the city boy I feel more at home there.It is the PERFECT place for us.We both fell in love with it.

And on edit.....we have had more time together happy in the last two months planning this move than we have had in years.My marriage is stronger than ever and we are both walking around on cloud nine knowing we will grow old and lazy together drinking cheap swill on the beach and bitching about you damned tourists
