My paycheck usually gets generated on Tuesdays, and even though I know it’s going to be the same, I still check it. After that, I tell my husband how much I’m getting this pay period, and then he shares his number too. That’s when I sometimes start feeling small in comparison. It brings up a bit of insecurity and makes me feel like I’m not doing enough. My partner is always supportive, but the feeling still lingers sometimes. Do you ever compare your salary with your partner’s or even friends’?

I’ve always made less in the relationship, but I have a lot of flexibility in my work. So when a kid is sick and needs to stay home, or we have to run to a dentist appointment, that’s my role. Nothing will ever be a 50/50 split in a relationship. It just has to be enough that you are both happy.

You are right about that. It is never 50/50. I am good at managing household things and he makes more money than me. So I guess I judge myself on wrong criteria.

Never, just as I don't look down on someone who makes less than me. Our value in life is not how much money we earn. We're all just trying to do the best we can, and that's enough.
