it does not bother me at all... because it really doesn't matter to me
I have never been immature or insecure like this, and I never ever made money a factor in my relationships so, it doesn't get on my way to finding happiness
in fact, my girlfriend with the business would make the same profits mine would make in one year, but it would take her just four months... lol, and that was never an issue for me, not only she started her business first but it was also a great model for business as well... our relationship had nothing to do with money
another girlfriend of mine completed her career while I was starting my business so, her jobs (she had two positions) would pay much more at the time because well, she is a professional with all the papers and stuff... and well, my business was just starting, that was never an issue for either of us... we didn't make our relationships about money
then, another girlfriend of mine, her parents had plenty of it, they were the rich ones... while she was not working herself at the time (she was completing her career) she had a couple of small businesses that would bring her income, and she also had some investments here and there because well... the parents are money smart (very smart) and they taught her about all that since she was 8 years old and surprisingly!! no, our relationship had nothing to do with monetary status either
money has never been any kind of issue in my relationships before, lol
It is no lie a lot of us want independent women. Only toxic men want clingy girls who freak out when it doesn't work out. If she earns a higher income, the power balance would shift. Its no denying it exists.
The problem is most men and even women do not prefer women-led relationships. Women earning more can often give them that emotional, financial and social power over their spouse.
Unfortunately i have witnessed many guys feeling small when they earn much less than their female counterparts.
Women tend to earn more than men these days, anyway so I would be indifferent if she earned more than me.
However there is a difference between women who earn more, and women that earn more and hold it over someone's head and act like a huge bitch because of it.
Makes me feel safer in a way. Sure, she doesn't "need me", but I don't want her to need me. I want her to WANT me. Anyway, I'd feel safer in terms of being a couple and surviving economic disasters such as one of us losing a job and being unemployed for more than a year.
How much she makes isn't the issue... expecting me to live beyond my means is the issue. She may be used to a lifestyle beyond mine and expect me to keep up, and that's not going to happen. If we pool all our income and live within a budget based on that pooled income, I'd have no problem. Differences in and of themselves aren't issues. It's when people make it an issue that it becomes an issue. Mutual respect and consideration for each other make differences irrelevant.
How long we have been together is a factor. I'd want to earn more than her so I am doing my male role as a provider. All I want from her is to pay her way on the basics.
In the course of time economic events might change that. Company failure, market changes etc.
if ur a broke guy it might be emasculating but for me I make a good living doing something i enjoy so if a girl does the same but makes more than me then good for her i don’t care 🤷♂️ women are the ones that are usually only looking to be with guys that make more than them.
I’m cool with it, I think I might worry some about being poor, but I’m never going to take advantage of someone’s money. I would help more with household work and stuff, and make pottery on the side with a garden to make myself more valuable
I’d be fine with that. I used to make considerably more then mine but never brought it up because she had some family history regarding that. Not that I would anyways.
I’d be very proud and supportive. I’ll say this though. When babies come, you must be with them. I come into play when they get older, but young children need their mother and I will gladly provide the resources during that time
Would love it. Thing that really burns me is working spouse that quits work after marriage with excuse that she'll go back at soonest opportunity - and doesn't. Had that. She's gone, but not nearly as soon as should have been.
I do not care how much she makes more than me, power to be her. Women are equal. There has been many times that my wife has supported us in my lean times of my career.
