Only if his ego is bigger than his paycheck.
I’d love a wife who made more than me. We are a team not competitors. I want somehow who can support me and give me advice - and snuggles - when needed. If she earns more than me she can probably give me good advice.
Physically? I am not aware of that.
Mentally? That’s all down to the husband - and if he’s someone who is hurt by it, the wife may want to review her choice of life partner.
In 20 years together, my wife (investment banking) earned more than me (healthcare manufacturing) for the first 17 (as much as 2.5x base salary) and it’s only been in the last 3 years that I’ve caught up with her. I now earn 59% of our net income and have realized that I owe so much to her earning more than me - it gave me the ability to take risks in the way I worked because the worst thing that could happen was that we’d lose 25% of our joint income.
100% with you M&TB1 - supporting each other and comprising for each other makes for a phenomenal marriage, so long as you appreciate the efforts and sacrifice you each provide.
Only if he's fragile and not confident
Nope. Whatever pays the bills and achieves the goals. This isn’t the days of Ward and June Cleaver.
I guess it does. Males are programmed since centuries that they are more clever, intelligent than female. It will take time may be centuries to change situation. It is observation when wife earns more than husband , he tries to pull her down by showing how she lacks in house hold things, cooking, managing children,especially indian husband. So after some time wife simplely starts paying no attention to husband's wining
Male ego I guess. This is not my work. In India, MLM tought their son such nonsense that household is woman's work addition to that.
In this economy?
Not my husband. Not my dad either. When my mom started to make more than him it was my mom who was embarrassed. My dad would brag about it.
Salaries are not a representation of our worth as humans. Anyone upset by who makes more in a household has growing up to do.
I pray daily my wife makes enough so I can sit around the house.
I've always made more than my husband, and it's never been a problem.
Depends on the person. My ex-husband was deeply offended when I'd be promoted at work and couldn't handle that I made more than him. My dad said he could see his viewpoint on it. My current fiance is my cheerleader. He brings me tea and snacks while I work. He celebrates any successes I have and has never, ever made me feel bad for making more.
I guess it depends on the roles in the household, but generally I would say no in today’s society. It will probably motivate him to earn more. Make sure there is good and positive communication between you two. Don’t weaponize the fact that you make more, or that will damage the relationship and grow resentment.
Have you asked him how he feels about it? Maybe just an open conversation would help. Make sure he knows you still value him. He may be feeling like the relationship dynamic is changing since many guys like to feel like a provider and protector. Maybe he’s losing his identity a bit that way.
Just the opposite. I’ve always wanted a Sugar Mama.
I dream of the day this happens. Imagine not having to shoulder the burden of keeping everyone fed and our future intact. If my wife made more than I make now, I would find an easier job, soend fewer hours at work, maybe do something I actually enjoy.
Only if pp smol
Fuck no. It’s time to go fishing.
Yes… no matter what he says.
He might try to be okay but he won’t be.
So talk it out and be open about discussing.
No! I’d be so stoked for my partner if she’s doing better than me. Only if making more makes you treat him a certain way negatively then probably it will hurt both of you in the future as . If either genuinely want that for their partner, then 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 ego kill relationships us men need to celebrate all wins!!!!!
I feel like yes it does, but it depends on how he was raised… in a patriarchal or matriarchal house…
lol why? What logical reason could there be?
lol why ?!
