Early on in my years just before marriage and after, my wife earned 3-4x more than I did. I was so proud of her.
I still paid for everything, from homes, cars, household, holidays, everything. What she earns, she keeps or shops a little bit of it. Because she's thrifty, she was the buffer for rainy day if ever it comes and she saved a tidy sum over the few years after we got married. Few years down the road, she quit due to mental stress that came with the job of earning that amount. I have been the sole bread winner since down. I was for a time feeling sad that she stopped earning an income. I did not imagine that in our late 30s, we stopped having dual income household. But I soon got a grip of myself and realize her happiness was more important and chose not to focus on the reduced savings. We are approaching 2 decades of marriage in a couple of years and up till today, her savings has been untouched and in fact grew with some good selective investments. The truth? Men deep inside is happy that gf/wife earns more. But I know many would not say it if the topic ever comes up even amongst close friends. They may feel inadequate when people knows the female counterpart earns more. And if the partner values his self esteem, she would also keep it to herself and not be boastful about it. Afterall, any income of either the male or female should only be between them, not anyone else. It has to be a respectful relationship, whether as BF/GF or husband/wife. For men who feels insecure, they should have been avoided in the first place. |

QUOTE(Blofeld @ Jan 20 2025, 03:06 AM) i believe you are asking the wrong question. Also the question is also: would the woman agree to spend more share on the household expenses based on her pay ratio to the man's ?The problem is NOT whether man can accept or not Instead, it's whether women can accept such a relationship or not. You should be asking whether women can accept their significant other earns lower than them I personally know a woman friend, she earns more than the husband, but due to spite the husband not able to menampung keluarga...she spend her money going overseas tour with the adult kids but purposely left him out stay at home. |

Thank god that's just her one opinion, and not that of the entire female population. Previous posters have gave very elaborate breakdown, but let me take a simple jab.She said men are leeching on women if the husband earns less than the wife. ![]() An individual is not measured only by the income they make, but that's the easiest metric to measure an individual. What if the guy works for a non-profit, draws just enough salary to make a decent living and dedicate his life to help others? Or the guy is just a teacher at a government school? I have the utmost respect, for people who dedicate their lives to cause above monetary gains, and that their goal is to help other people. If everybody also care about earning as the one and only objective, government hospitals will have 0 doctors. So, because his gf/wife is a superstar insurance/property/bitcoin sales agent who make 5x to 10x what he makes, it is a problem? Wow that's really shallow. And men leeching on women? What happened to the females who champion equality? hahaha.. some women. they want to win all arguments even when it is mutually exclusive Oh, my personal opinion, men and women are not equals, women are far superior, they can give birth. |

out of 10 women, 9 will not be happy if their husbands earn less than them.
this is the sad inconvenient truth. most men who earn less than their spouse will suffer, either openly or in silence. all over the world, most women expect their partner to earn more and practice the gospel truth that his money is our money and my money is my money |
