Will You Mind If Your Woman Makes More MON$Y than YOU?

My wife makes more money than I do, and I have no problem with it. I am glad that she has a good-paying job. She has worked hard to get to where she is. If it ever comes to the point that I DO have a problem with the fact that she makes more money than I do, that will be a sign that it is time for me to better myself so that I can get a better paying job than the one I have now...

During my last marriage, I was the bread winner of the family & he was the house spouse!!! It bothered him that he didn't have a job that afforded him to support me as he felt it was the man's job to be the bread winner & support the wife. Now I did NOT look at it that way!!!! I enjoyed working & at the time had a job that paid enough so we could live comfortably!!! We had a house & 2 cars & plenty of food to eat. In all honesty, I enjoyed coming home to a clean house with dinner on the table!!!! In his need to be the "man of the house" he also worked very hard to do ALL the repairs around the house & he did ALL the yard work. Plus he did most of the repairs on our cars. I paid the bills, but he made the decisions. It was much like my parent's marriage except the roles were reversed & I saw it as a win/win situation!!! I could see how in some relationships it wouldn't work as the man just sits at home & does pretty much nothing waiting for the wife to come home from work to face ALL the housework, cleaning, cooking, etc. I feel that IF a couple truly SHARES their life together, the roles can be interchangeable WITHOUT harm!!!!

I don't know, in my case I am the one making a living. But I know a lot of people where it's the woman who earns more. There are even cases where the woman is the bread winner and the husband stays at home. A have a colleague who has that kind of arrangement and she's not happy about it.

hi there i never mind in that if my girlfriend make more money than me.i know one thing only if she has capable to earn more money its good for her and our future which we will be invest for better.women get more free time to utilize there mind and time to earn more money.

Definitely not, because for me it's the quality of life that matters not who earns more than the other. Whatever it is she is your better half so why get jealous about it after all. But amidst all this rat race to earn money do find quality times to spent together or else it can seriously strain the relationship.

Another interesting topic. I won't mind. In fact, why not. Better still, if I can just "idle" at home and type in myLot all day, how nice the life will be. Maybe by now, I would have reach 1000 posts, but it is just not meant to be. Women are as capable as men. There is no need to earn less when you can earn more. The more you earn, the sooner both of you can plan for retirement, and be in myLot all day.

My husband don't mind at all if i earn more than he. He said what is important is when our money pooled together could comfortably give us a living. He doesn't mind at all, because he said i make him feel that he still heads the family, despite of that, which i think should always be the case on husbands and wives.
