Would you have a problem with your significant other making a lot more money than you?

[Anonymous]

Yes, I don't want to feel like I'm being taken care of all the time or can't match their contributions financially

No, I'd actually prefer if they were far more rich than I

[Anonymous]

Ah, shiitake mushrooms, why would me give a flying floppy wangdongle about something like income? Me would be thrilled to death, as long as there’s enough money left over for us to indulge in our most depraved carnal urges and kinky fantasies! In fact, she could probably buy an entire mountain range made entirely out of dildos and strapons and vibrators, for all I care! As long as I’m getting stuffed full of enough meat rockets, twisted nipple clamps, molten candle wax, and tentacle toys to sink my teeth into, then what difference does a few greenbacks make? Plus, think about how hot it would be watching my sweet little honey pie wear nothing but some naughty lingerie, crawling towards me across a bed of thousand dollar bills—just makes me wanna take that glorious view straight between the sheets, straddling her legs around me, letting loose however much wad dough sperm juice cream pies come shooting from my love wand that they do after such incredibly powerful orgasms only someone with the body of @Aphrodite801 herself can ever truly bring up inside any mortal man/woman; so bring on the bread and butter as well babe because YOU ARE SO WORTH IT!!! ﾠ

This would be ALL KINDS of awesome! Sadly, it ain't so!

My guess is that given a choice between a partner making SUBSTANTIALLY more than they do, or less than they do, something like 90%+ of people would choose the former. Why people still seem to think it's worthwhile to dwell on the 10% or so of folks who would prefer the opposite is truly beyond me.

The best I can figure is that people don't understand the concept of an "all else equal" argument and therefore get caught up in issues like "well, if they made a LOT more then maybe they'd be working a ton and I'd never get to see them and I wouldn't like that" or some such. So perhaps there's just confusion between the person asking the question and the person answering as to what they both mean.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Among the two of us, I have always been the one who makes more money.

He's very successful and has a very impressive net worth but he has a lot of catching up to do.

Like him, I won't have a problem if he makes more money.

That'd be a nice change as long as my earnings continue to rise.

[provokeesmokee]

Neither option.

I don't mind. If anything them earning more than me motivates me (if reasonable) to pursue more income sources.

[AviatorTom]

So long as she's willing to treat our joint incomes as OUR money and not just HER money, it would be fine (maybe even preferred) if she made more than me.

[Bethany22]

I wouldn't have a problem with that at all

[pathfinder69420]

What should matter the most compatibility. If people belong together and should be together, everything else will fall into place provided there is a reasonable amount of effort be put in by all involved to keep the relationship healthy.

Relationships should not be intentionally transactional at all. Placing monetary value on a person based on what they earn, contribute, provide, as a means of assessing value on those involved in the relationship compromises the dignity of all parties involved. If the people involved in the relationship are doing what they're supposed to be doing, which is to simply be doing their best and not holding back, there should be balance.

Here's a scenario: Person Z is employed full-time, and earns substantially more than Person X, but both are emotionally, physically, and mentally fulfilled in the relationship. Person Z secretly resents the fact that they make more, but concealed the fact that they actually do place value on a person based on how much they earn. One day, Z reveals this to X in an attempt to find a solution. Ultimately, they break up, because Z manipulated X into entering into a relationship. The fulfillment both experienced was rooted in a lie.

If it matters, make it known before you entered into a relationship.

No don’t care either way.

As long as I have my own. And I have my own separate money, and savings.

For when the imbecile decides to lay a finger on me. Or decides to stick his diseased dick into someone else.

I’m able to disappear and leave. Able to escape. I could care less if he is a billionaire. I need to have my own damn shit.

[cloud9vortex1234]

Yes, many times it doesn't work out when a woman makes a lot more then her Significant Other. It would be nice if it could most of the time, but I think many women lose respect for guys in that situation. Of course, many women aren't going to come out and admit it.

[madhatters4]

hell no. if my wife made more than me we'd almost be on easy street. i don't care about anything other than what helps us provide a happy, healthy, secure family. more money means more financial security. so i'm all for it

[Anonymous]

Personally I'd have no problem If my partner earned more than me, but and its a BIG BUT women will not stay with or respect a man that doesn't have the same or better income, and they will monkey branch to another guy with a higher income, there are thousands of tales like this on Reddit and other sites.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't ask how much my s/o makes to begin with, as that's not the reason I'd go looking for someone. It's 1 of the reasons I play sportsbooks soccer matches... not go getting involved with someone. Honestly, I've never known how much any past girlfriend's of mine made or had at any given time. I never asked.

[aceleon]

well as long as i am still the one who wears the pants and she doesn't try to getting the high ground because of her money, then of course i wouldn't mind.

[Robocod]

Statistically, divorce rate is higher when the woman earns more than her man.

So if I was considering a marriage I'd have a problem with this, otherwise I'm fine.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Wouldn't care, she only needs to make enough to cover her half of the bills. If she's making more than me, then that just means she has more left over to spend on whatever she wants after paying her share of the bills for the month.

[Dargil]

If she was an MD and I was a Machinist Foreman or skilled HVAC tech, etc., not at all. We both do something useful and essential. What we earn does not rank our value.

[JustinTheGreat]

I wouldn’t mind but I don’t like them spending too much money on me either. I’d still want to contribute to expenses and feel like I’m doing my part.

[Kaneki05]

I am a logical person so the richer they are the better it is. I don't know why anyone would get emotional and think it's bad for some reason.

[Nikki1989]

It is not something I even think about. I don't even know how much my husband makes, and the topic has never come up.

[EmmaMary]

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with my husband's business making more money than I could possibly earn.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I don't care what she makes. It's not my money. I've dated one or two that made significantly more than me, still didn't change anything

[Anonymous]

If my so was making a lot more money than me then that means I could eventually just be a stay at home mom which I am 100% cool with. So no I wouldn't have a problem with it at all and actually hope that becomes reality.

[JackCarter]

Of course no, this is a relationship and not a competition

[McLlovin]

I dont mind, doesn’t bother me, but just know im not staying home im ganna continue to work. Even if you’re making millions.

[Drumlin2001]

I wish she did. I could drop my hours, spend another day a week with kids and not have to worry bout being the sole provider for all the bills.

[Billlewis]

No, because either way, it's all her money anyway.

[virtualwasp]

no, but i have my own focus to make my own money.

[OfMiceandMen]

That wouldn't bother me. Money allows you to do stuff together, it's not a deciding factor.

[exitseven]

It would be okay with me. There were some years when my wife made more money than me. Over the years it all evened put I think.

[sheenagwapa]

i like being paid 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 i find it hot for some reason

[Anonymous]

I can't imagine meeting a woman who makes more than me. But in that rare instance I wouldn't care how much more she makes then me. So long as she does not EXPECT me to conform to her financial philosophy.

[tzdc21]

No. As long as she doesn't use that as an excuse to be an absolute jerk all the time.

[Anonymous]

No, I expect it. We're trying to get pregnant, so the more he earns, the better. He is the man after all.

[TacosRAwesome]

Nah not really. More money is better than less money.

[love_conquers_lust]

Would not care either way. Our happiness would be my primary concern.

[Unit1]

Always better more income than less income i say.

[Anonymous]

no, because then the expectations out of me can finally drop.

[Sparkie460]

No it would not bother me at all. It's not a competition on who makes more money.

[LiamJHayden]

Nope. I've dated attorneys who make multiples of what I make.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No, as long she wasn't rubbing it in my face and being rude about it.

[dolemite58]

no i make a good living already, if she made more i wouldn’t feel emasculated or anything

[Offjfbfb]

That’s the husbands job. I’d be upset if he didn’t.

[smne35]

No I would not and it should be a non issue

[Anonymous]

I'm it might bother me in some circumstances but I wouldn't turn town a rich girl or an heiress.

[elizamichale1]

No i dont mind tht

[RedInnocent68]

No. Sadly, I haven’t found her yet…

[SolitarySolace]

Only if she still expects me to pay for everything

[moviedude714]

I would not be bothered

[BarryLiverstone]

If that makes her happy I’m all for it.

[shortster]

That doesn't bother me.

[SUMAIREBRAHIM]

Where can I find one 😂😂😂

[pickles77]

Depends on the dynamic

[NateR05]

Honestly, I would feel kinda insecure

[jahaims]

Why would I care?

[Twalli]

Not really.
