To all the sifus in this forum, I have been around for some time and i realise a lot of you guys are very experienced and wise on a lot of issues with relationships. I am somewhat still young so i would like to hear some of your opinions and wisdom.
To husbands / long term mature boyfriends: Have you guys been around or experienced a situation where, your wives / gfs start earning a lot more than you (50% - 100% your salary more) and then start losing feelings for you? Maybe it can come in shape of being annoyed more with a particular trait that may never have been raised.
To wives / long term mature gfs: Honestly, would you feel or have you felt less attracted to your husbands and bfs if you start realising you do / can earn way more than your husband / bf?
Any comments and views are extremely welcome. Please let me know what you guys think of this type of situation.
The law of hypergamy - a woman who thinks she is attractive will seek to date up and find a man of a higher value than her. Income plays a significant role in her value assessment.To husbands / long term mature boyfriends: Have you guys been around or experienced a situation where, your wives / gfs start earning a lot more than you (50% - 100% your salary more) and then start losing feelings for you?

So if she chooses a guy who makes half of what she makes, she might eventually see that as settling for less and not fully optimizing her own value in the dating marketplace.
Alternately, a man who makes half of what she makes might also feel he loses his sense of authority or leadership in the relationship due to his financial position, which is usually viewed negatively by society.
For a relationship in which the income disparity heavily favours the woman to work, the man must have some other overwhelmingly redeeming qualities to overcome the law of hypergamy.
