Does my girlfriend leave me because she makes more money than me?

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend earns more than me and it makes me sad. I'm starting to feel inadequate when I'm with her. Do you think she deserves better than me or would she want to break up?

It depends on how she feels. You need to have an honest talk w her. A lot of women aren’t like men, meaning men will date women who make a lot less or don’t even work at all. Maybe she wants to be a wife, a stay home home mom as in my situation. Women usually want a man who makes the same amount as them or more. Because even if she makes let’s say $100,000 a year l, women don’t really want to be the sole provider in a relationship. Especially if she’s more into a traditional, conservative relationship sho where she thinks the man should be the provider. In this day, both people usually have to work. But too men don’t look to women for financiers because women in history have never really been the ones to take care of men. A lot of times men share their resources w women. If he’s making more the family prospers more. W women a or of time they look at it as his money is our money, my money is my money. I’ve never heard a man say he was saving money up in case she derives him or cheats on him or whatever the case may be. It’s usually women who do that. The other thing about the girl making more, sometimes they start to think well I make more than you, I pay a majority of the bills, got my own house, my own car, what do I need you for. Then they think I can do better than this dude, I need someone who makes as much or more than me. Not always, but it happens. You need to talk to her, find out where she stands on this.

You are being dramatic, I know plenty of women who earn more than their partners. A friend of mine is only on 25K doing a maintance job in the prison. The wife is a train driver earning 60k a year plus.

We are living in times, were women have the potential to earn more than men. Now if either gender feels, they need to find someone with the same earning potential or more. This is a very martialistic mindset, you should love the person who they are, and who they are as person and not the job they do, or how nice they car is.

If everyone starts thinking like you, Well good luck to the human population, it will decline even more at this rate. The human birth is at all time low, according to reports its very concerning.

However I do understand how you feel. But if your girlfriend doesn't love because you earn less than her, well she is not a person you want to be with anyway. She is just a materialistic cow, if this is the case. I don't want to date or have relationships with materialistic people. F*ckoff out of my life.

1st of it’s not a competition. She’s your partner not your competitor, you should support each other. If she’s able to make more, you support her to make more, and the money is coming in, you are both winner, maybe help her invest on the side. It should be a we thing.
Men instinctually want to be the provider, they want to be the one who earn more in the relationship, when their partner/girlfriend/WF earn more to some it’s like an attack to their manhood, to their weak masculinity.
That type of fragile ego will ruin your relationship, and even turn you to a person you might not want to be to her. If you’re gonna hold her back, please leave her be…
That’s sad, cause I’ve been through a similar, where he repeated something like this to me. One of the many reasons we’re divorcing!

In a real realationship, it should not matter who earns what. It is a RELATIONSHIP, not a competition.

As your friendly neighborhood relationship coach, I'm here to sprinkle some positivity on this. 🌟 Money matters can definitely shake things up, but let’s focus on the heart. If she’s with you, it’s because of who you are—not your wallet! The key is to communicate and appreciate each other’s worth beyond dollars and cents. No need to throw up the red flag! You’ve got this, superstar! 💪💕

Not at all, a relationship is partnership , you both should be working as a team , not against each other. If she broke up with you just because she makes more money than you? , than she honestly did you a favor my man, because love doesn’t come from the size of your wallet, Love comes from the size of your heart period.

[AviatorTom]

Who makes more money should not matter. If she is okay with it, why does it bother you? Male adequacy is not measured by the size of one's bank account.

I can totally understand how you feel man. Honestly, it's hard when your girlfriend makes more money and it can mess with your head a little bit. But I don't think she's going to leave you just because of that. It's how you deal with it. If you start feeling insecure or let it affect your relationship, that's when problems can start. It's all about being confident in who you are, supporting her and not letting money be the defining factor in your value in the relationship. If she really cares about you, money won't be an issue.

[Asker]

You are right, it is important to maintain my trust and to have a supportive relationship with her. Money should not define the relationship.

[jamesgoldman]

Probably not based on my experience

N. b. I've had two relationships albeit back when I was young but truly broke (my peak net worth then was probably £500)
The first probably took home my net worth every month and the second inherited £250,000
Both lived (with family) in paid off houses worth the right side of half a million with enough saved to pay for university debt-free
The second had a BMW and a habit for Cartier & Chanel oh and to top it off she also offered me a £5,000 watch after we'd dated for probably 2 months

[scott04sa22]

She wants you and only you, she probably doesn't care on how money you make. If you because jobless she'll still wants to be with you. Sounds like you have ambitions and that's probably what keeping her staying with you. Even you have bad sex or cum too fast. the bad sex won't matter to her.

Please don't break up with her. There's a very high chance she's your future wife. If you break up with her. She'll be very hurt and heartbroken. It's very very very hard to find someone like your girlfriend who cares about you.

If she finds someone else she'll never have that happiness she gotten from you

Okay, the point is that money isn’t the issue. What’s important is how you handle things emotionally. If you’re feeling insecure about that, it could be affecting how he sees things. Trust, respect, and communication are key. Instead of stressing about the lack of money, focus on how you contribute emotionally, in the relationship, and in other ways that show him that you’re supportive. No one wants to feel like they’re carrying the burden of everything, but if you’re supportive and confident, that’s what really matters.

[Asker]

Of course, it's not the money that matters. Emotional support and trust are what create the real bonds in a relationship.

[butterfly]

money shouldn't be the reason someone ends a relationship, but it could be about how they feel. Maybe they feel there's a power imbalance, or maybe it's about how you both handle it. Are you supportive of their success or is it making things awkward between you? Sometimes, it's not the money itself, it's the feelings around it. Talk to them and see what's really going on; it might not even be about the salary.

[Asker]

There may be a feeling of insecurity or instability. It is necessary to clarify by talking.

[Unit1]

Ironically thinking in this manner increases your chances of her abandoning you.

The heart is fed with love. Money can buy a lesser or insincere version of that.

I make a huge amount more money than many guys I've been with but I don't say a word about it. They usually don't find out until the first time they come to my house and some have sort of disappeared after that. But I would never leave a guy because of it.

[Anonymous]

Statistically, women are much more likely to end relationships if they outearn the guy. They're smart enough to not get trapped into a divorce rape situation. Love and respect will override that, but many women can't respect a guy with lower income, so it's tough.

[molonski2]

What is you job role and what is hers? That's the more important question?

[Purpleronnie]

If she did for that reason alone she wasn’t worth having in the first place.

[shades777]

I hear that it usually ends up with the man feeling insecure or the woman acting too masculine about it

[paledreams]

Some chicks need no man 🤑💰😂😃♀️😋

[CarolinaGirl5]

Why do you make less than her?

[Anonymous]

It's one of the possibilities.
