Women have slowly gained their share of respect and recognition in the companies or multinational corporations where it was like a "man's world" before. In the old-fashioned times, only men were allowed to have key or important positions in a company but right now, we can already see some women who are successful in finding a place in the so-called men's world. What do men personally feel about this?For example, there is a husband and wife and let's say that the wife's career is more successful than the husband or that the wife gets a higher salary than the husband. To the guys, if you are the husband,would you feel negative about this? To the girls, if you are the wife, what would you think of your husband? would you push him to become more aggressive in his career? For me, if i am earning more than my husband does, i wouldnt mind at all. as long as my husband has a good and stable career that he really enjoys, it doesnt matter to me if he earns less. What i wont accept would be if i will be the only one who will work and provide for the both of us.

I think there is no problem if wife earns more than husband. It doesent matter the salary or the money. If they are husbant and wife all that matters is the love betwen them.

it doesnt matter as long as we are helping each other for our needs. One should understand the other.

if i were the husband, i wouldn't mind it at all. it will give me ample time now to havve the career that i will enjoy with.rather than only one is making a living. who earns more is not the issue for my hubby. as longs as we are well compensatedand have each other at the same time, that's fine.

I do not mind one way or the other. If hubby makes more than me, great. If I make more than him, great. As far as I'm concerned, it all goes to the same pot, makes no difference to me. He can have all my money because I love him.

If my wife is earning more than me, it's ok. I'll be happy because it'll mean that we can better provide for our kid.
