as long as she doesn't hold it over your head, im sure its great. some women will make note again and again if they pay/spend more than you do in a relationship. that can get very annoying.
How would you feel if your gf/wife earns a lot more than you?

I had the same problem. It wasn't a marriage but a long term relationship. He seemed quite content when I was making less than he was but once my salary was doubling and tripling his, it really bothered him. Ditto had insecurity problems to begin with.Originally posted by RRREDMy marriage went right down the shitter the moment I started making more money than him. He was already insecure to begin with so it surely didn't help matters at all.
On the flip side, I've had guys who loved that I was making more than they were, but damn if I didn't think they were wimpy.
Females are such wishy washy loons.

Thats why my parents divorced. My mom took her chance after "velvet revolution" (Czech republic, 1989, comunists rule fall), she developed former family company, that was given back to us. Suddenly she was succesfull business woman, while my dad stuck on his place... He never accepted that woman is supposed to be like this and gave her hell. Thats my experience... I hope that "today´s guys" are different.Comment

Interesting flip side there.Originally posted by PeachesI've had guys who loved that I was making more than they were, but damn if I didn't think they were wimpy.
Perhaps men are insecure about women making more because women make them FEEL that way, even subconsciously.
I personally could care less. My wife actually JUST went BACK to work because she couldn't sit in front of a computer all day to make LESS money for fucks sakes...and doubled my workload in the process.
Now THAT'S a fuckin' pisser.Comment

Yeah, I don't know if I felt that way BECAUSE I made more than they did or they were just in fact wimps and would probably NEVER make more than meOriginally posted by ronaldoInteresting flip side there.

The one guy I dated who had problems with it was PERFECT in every way except for his issues with that one thing. Kinda sucked. When I lost a job once, he was actually happy

seems funny that people were saying, this isn't the 1800's, who would feel insecure, etc. then you have women who admit that they felt their partner was less than them for making less money than them. why did the fact that he made less make him wimpy? because he was satisfied with making less?Originally posted by PeachesYeah, I don't know if I felt that way BECAUSE I made more than they did or they were just in fact wimps and would probably NEVER make more than me

I think so. They DIDN'T want to make more money. They would have been happy sitting at home and eating bonbons all dayOriginally posted by BlackCrayonwhy did the fact that he made less make him wimpy? because he was satisfied with making less?
I guess it just happened that I've gotten the ones who were either pissed I made more money than them, or the ones who thought it would be great if I supported them, lol!

I'd feel like I could quit my job.Originally posted by rantsHow would you feel if your gf or wife outearns you and makes a lot more than you? For example if you made 30k a yr and your gf/wife makes around 150k (NOT as a model, content, but she's self employed running her own business ).
Imagine she only works a few hours a day, some days none at all, basically whenever she feels like, so she has a very low-stress job, so it's not like she even has to work a lot. And she works from home so doesn't need to commute.
Would you feel any less of a man?
Or would you leave her because you would feel intimidated by her
being the breadwinner and making more than you?
Or would you be happy and proud to be with someone successful?
Or would you not care as long as she was hot and the relationship good?
How would you feel?

gf and lots of money
Throughout the years I have noticed the HUGE changes in attitude that many women have depending upon how secure or insecure they feel at any given moment. So if she remained the same person and didn't club me over the head with it, I would think it is wonderful!!!!! I would say the best person to answer this would be a woman. Good luck getting a straight answer though ;-)Comment

It depends on your life perspectives. If now you earn less, but you are working and in future you will get more, it's nothing. If no, it depress meComment

If she does not make you feel like less of a man for earning more and those are your insecurities than must deal with it. If you are bitter because you don't think she works then that to is something you need to work on. Nobody really makes that kind of money without having to work btw.AIM sherierocks
