I did and it was bad. I was married to a man and I’ll blame it on me picking him…so there’s that. But he was jealous, and used to hide his money so he wouldn’t have to contribute to the household and saw a problem with him paying more money because he “wanted to save” yet i was paying majority of the bills, cooking, cleaning and caring for the kids. Not to mention, when we separated he was working overtime and side gigs, yet when we got back together he got back lax. Don’t recommend it unless the man has integrity and good character
My ex boyfriend made triple my salary and he was an amazing partner but unfortunately it didn’t work out. My current boyfriend makes about $30k less than me but since I’m making six figures, it doesn’t bother me that much. He also is working to getting a new job that would make more than I currently make and has also told me he would allow me to be a stay at home mom if I wanted once we get married. That alone makes me feel secure being with him and I know he would do whatever necessary to provide for us.
As for my friends, almost every single one is married to a man who makes more than her except for two of my friends. However unfortunately one of the two is going through a divorce and the other is having problems with her spouse. Not sure if money is a factor for them but it does make me wonder…
I will say this though! If my current bf and I ever break up, I would never date another guy who makes less. He was the first one I dated who made less and I’d never do it again lol. I love him now and know he will eventually make more and that’s why I’m ok with it for now lol. I have definitely sacrificed going on fancy trips and restaurants that I used to do in my previous relationships, however I do those things with friends now instead!
Imagine if a man made a post asking how many of them were married to women who weigh less than them or are considered less attractive than them.
Right all over YouTube dress size, looks & weight & then say that’s why they never married lol even though women outnumber men. Lol
Def especially if a woman is older and trying to have kids or a kid and put on bed rest anything can happen. I have friends this happened to as well. The HS sweethearts more so was married longer so their dating and marriage flow is different as well as incomes which is why I was saying somethings reply to married. I don’t think they have data on girlfriends. This comes up
as head of household for black women if she’s living with her boyfriend.
