My boyfriend earns a LOT more than me - how do I deal with this?

Anonymous
I am not a materialistic person. I love my boyfriend to bits for who he is. I hope I will be at his side forever, whatever happens. Also, I believe strongly in equality, which means that I always pay at least my half (and sometimes the whole bill) when we go out to restaurants or bars or have a fun day out somewhere.

However, my boyfriend earns $40K more than me per annum. He keeps talking about doing things like going abroad on big holidays - and I am worried that I can't afford to pay half for this, and that I won't be able to contribute as much towards the household when we move in together. I have thought about getting another job, but I already work two jobs, and I don't think I physically can take on a third. I try to make up for my poor financial contribution at the moment by contributing more work. I do chores, I clean, I cook, I wash his clothes, I bring him drinks and try to make him feel loved and spoiled. He has never, ever mentioned the fact that I don't pay half, and it is like it doesn't even bother him. But I am still completely paranoid that he will think that I am taking advantage of him.

I couldn't bear to lose him. Please help me.
