No, I can truly say that it would not bother me, because until the last two years, I have always made more than my husband. Plus, there was a period of 18 months that he did not work and I worked 2 jobs. But, he did the things that needed to be done at home, cooking, cleaning, and all that good stuff. That was probably the greatest part of it! But, I know that it seems that the man should always be the biggest breadwinner in the family, that is just society. There was a time long ago when women did not work at all outside the home, just the men. I think as long as it does not cause a problem in your relationship, it is fine.

just as long as he's not a big couch potatoe and he has a determination its ok :), men really had it a long time ago women are treated like queens and princesses back then .. but as time goes by things really change . .

it depends on how he is working right now. if i can see that he is already trying his best and that he doesn't have any problem with his work it is fine with me. there are instances that no matter how hard working a person is, s/he is not well compensated for it.
the money that i will be earning is for our family. it doesn't worry me on who gets to give more as long as we are both sharing in the finances.

the important thing is neither one of you "just receives" its better when you both share and neither one of you just benefits from others salary

No, it would not bother me at all. Actually, 2 years ago, I was the breadwinner in the family, while my husband was looking for a job. He stayed at home and looking after the house (cooking, cleaning, etc). For me, what matter is that, although he did not work, he could still be the man I could respect and look up into. He could still take care of me by supporting me spiritually.

I think it will not bother me especially he do everything but still not enough money than myself. Just the matter of helping each other.
