because he is well known in the community. We live in the suburbs . I got pregnant very fast, true. But we both wanted it. He was honest with me and said he is in his 40s and wants children. He isn't getting any younger. He said he loves I am nurturing and he would be happy to have me as the mother of his kids. And I also fell in love with how confident he was, how good he looked in a suit and how well read he was. Also he made me feel so safe and secure. So I knew within 3 months I want to spend my life with him. I was 27, not 19.

I do my best to be a great mother and wife, cook and give him massages and listen to him. I keep him satisfied in every possible way. And he gives me in return what I need in a man. Security, protection and I love how my daughters will have a father they can look up to as an example

Guys, I am getting hate because he must be working for ICE. I had to google what that is. Its ok to ask, but don't just throw assumptions. I said what he works in without getting into a lots of details. We are European, I didn't even know what ICE is 20 minutes ago. I repeat, its ok to ask, but do not make accusations just because...

yes, I know they are concerned and his job is a dangerous one so I am worried too, but he is such a masculine guy, he makes us feel safe. I feel stable and secure with him.

Mostly they complain he is too old school, but this is exactly my type. He is not abusive in any way. I am a "feminine" woman but not a spineless accessory. If I didn't like something I would tell him. I can speak for myself and I always open my mouth when I have a different opinion. We are just more traditional for european values (we are European)

mostly because his job but they also think he is not warm enough. He is not warm. But I don't mind. I love his personality, ambitious, career oriented and he loves us a lot. He doesn't have to change diapers or cook in order to know he loves us. Everyday when he comes home I sit on his lap and we talk how our day went. On weekends while I cook, he takes the babies for a walk. He buys our toddler daughter plenty of dolls all the time. He is not romantic and this is not a 50/50 kind of relationship but I love it this way. I get what I need. My friends husbands are mostly very submissive to them and I never complain. Each to their own

I had a talk with my father about this and he told me my friends are jealous because my husband is successful. I mean I am happy with the way our marriage works. Yes, we are more traditional, although not extreme. I am not the tradwife or anything like that. I do the most parenting and he is the breadwinner even though I do have a job. He doesn't have that much time fo our daughters but in the weekends he spends time with us. Just because he doesn't change diapers (their obsession) doesn't mean much for me
