Your husband made a dumb comment. Pure and simple. He was being insensitive. You are obviously shell shocked from the death of the woman who died giving birth. Hopefully he can see what happened. Maybe sitting him and explaining your feelings well get across to him how disturbed you were with his comment. Who will take care of your daughters? That’s his responsibility if something were to happen to you.
I would be incredulous too. He lacked full awareness of what he is saying.
I (40M) wouldnt invest that much in a woman, i am not interessted in. But take it slow and get over your ex first. If he likes you he will wait for you to be ready. Best of luck
People change over time. When we're young, we change faster than when we are older, but we do change. Could be you have just outgrown each other. I think you should look for someone who makes you happy instead of someone who occupies his time with something else besides you.
Not everyone you meet is going to be a motivated, goal driven go getter. Some people are content to have a modest living and see no need to strive for more. There is nothing wrong with that, everyone is different. Some people will work two and three jobs to try and improve their situation, others may take night classes in order to qualify for better jobs in the future. Some people want to work just enough to get their needs met.
You have to decide if this is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. It might not bother you to be the main breadwinner in the relationship. You might prefer someone more driven to achieve financial success. Do your future plans include having a job that will pay enough to achieve the life you want for yourself and your future kids?
Why should I have to disclose all of that to get an answer about whether or not we were compatible?
ಠ_ಠ
Why should we get the full story of a couple to give advice on if they're compatible together?
What?
Are you fucking serious?
This is definitely a fake account now. No one is this dense.

Have a talk with him while in a relaxed setting

IMO a child is way more of a commitment than marriage. You’re stuck in that persons life.

I'm trying to wrap my head around a grown-ass man having such a juvenile view of women.
I can't do it.
The common factor in these failed relationships is you. Work on you.
I’d tack on a “congrats, he’s your problem now”
Thanks for taking the time to read and reply, I really appreciate it. You're right I think, I need to talk to him about it as kindly as possible.
