My SO makes a multiple of my income. Doesn't matter to either of us. I think it can be a problem in either direction for couples, you have to handle it between yourselves (maybe with outside input or arbitration-style help).

At first it was 50/50 but it’s clear she can’t keep up and so now I end up paying for most things. Which gets tiring and although I don’t show it I’m actually a little peeved. Which makes me feel terrible but what can you do

If you found the person you care about, why does it matter? My wife makes more than I do - I don’t care because it’s just more to around. Definitely better long term once you get over your insecurities.

You a guy or gal?

Well my expenditures are in proportion that much higher and credit card competition is another ball game - he is a consultant..lol

I lol’ed because of the relationship between consultants and points and credits cards - in the sense that it’s tough to top them on it...😑
