And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

Good for you!!! I can see how exclusive bfing on demand could work while WOH, seeing as you were never gone more than 3 hours. Clearly, you were very lucky to be able to arrange this kind of schedule. However, I would probably consider you more of a WAHM than a WOHM, in that you "WAH most of the time". But reguardless, I still have to say good for you.
Could you PLEASE stop disparaging those who married early by ASSUMING they did or didn't give marriage any more or less thought than you or anyone older did?
I'm not speaking for FSW, but my dh and I put LOTS of thought into marriage, and we still do. . .on a day to day basis.

Because I think that children should come first, not second, or third, or fourth...
Because I think that it is a mother's primary responsibility to personally provide care for her children, rather than the responsibility of a substitute who is paid to provide care in the mother's absence.
Because I think that children should be bf on demand, from the actual source, until they self wean. In other words, I think that bf without bottles, without sippy cups, without pumping, without expressing, without freezing ebm, and without thawing ebm is BEST.
Because I think that substitute care/dc is very impersonal and completely innappropriate for infants and young children, especially when it's full-time.
Because I think that SAH is important and that children are well worth it.
Yes, you did.
