does it matter? Do guys get intimidated when their wife earns more than they does? Do they feel less of a man if the wife provide more than half of the support financially than him?
How about the wife? Do you feel much superior when you made more than your husband?Do you feel more dominant in the house?
What are your opinion on this? Does having an income difference matters or it doesn't bother you at all? I think it shouldn't because you share your income anyway.

in our case income makes no difference..my husband is earning much more than me..so no comparison yet..hence its natural for husband to be the great provider..but if it will happen to us..in my opinion its not make any difference at all...my husband is giving me all her money and just just for allowance.so if im the one who gonna have higher income then...no worries..

We're retired and my husband alway made more than me. So that is not the worry, except when we went for pension sharing, I hoped to get the grocery money, but he just wants me to keep my pension and give the rest to him and I am more adventurous when it comes to grocery shopping. He just wants to buy the same old thing.

When my husband earned less than I did, he said he didn't care, but I don't think so. Now he earns much more than I do and I think he's proud of it. We are in China, and I think ideas about that vary from county to country.
