Making more money than your man/husband does?

[femmenoire]

Women have you ever been in this situation and did it put a strain on your relationship or even ended it?

How do you guys feel about it?

Does it really matter if it all goes to one pot?

Do women tend to rub it in your face in these situations?

 

[HoneyBerry]

I find that many men create a situation where there's none. They assume that the woman is going to rub it in their face before even trying it out. But a man who is confident in himself won't trip.

Some women will rub it in their man's faces.

I don't really care, personally. As long as we are paying the bills, then fuck it.

Damn if I'd feel emasculated if my wife made more money than I.
In today's economy, the more money coming in the better.

In the words of Marcellus Wallace (Pulp Fiction), "That's pride fuckin' wit cha", "Fuck Pride".

Naw I wouldnt trip,the question is would you ladies date/marry a man thats employed as a sanitation worker/janitor or any other low wage job?

 

[Pussy Krook]

I've been with women who made more and it never was an issue until they brought it up. Believe me a women will use any ammo she has to win an arguement.

PK, you are absolutely right.

My ex-wife quit a job making more than I did to start her master's, when the company said they would PAY for it if she kept working there.

I tried to convince her that the job was best for her, and she threw some bullshit in my face. I won't get into it any more than that.

Fast forward 9 years and her ass still ai't got no fucking job.....And I'm postured to get custody of our daughter, hopefully.

I hope my wife starts making more money than I do. As a matter of fact I'd welcome it.
CHA-CHING!

It wouldn't be an issue with me as long she didn't make it an issue and hopefully I wouldn't be with a woman like that. But I am not one of those people that are hung up on money. I have money to maintain a certain lifestyle but I don't ever need to be extravagant or make an issue of it. I'd rather work a "job" for a purpose than for a check.

I made more money than my ex fiance. I can honestly say it did not bother either one of us. I considered us a team. In my mind his pay check and my pay check was our money. We both made contributions to our household and life style and no one was taking count of who did what. I always had the utmost respect for him and always let him be the man of the house. I did not have to work hard at it either, it came natural.

A lot of my friends won't even consider dating a man that makes less money than them. I think that is unfortunate, they might miss out on a really good man. If a man is intelligent, works hard, fun to chill with, we have similar goals; I can respect and be with him. Although I made more money than my ex, he was smarter with money than I am. We both brought a lot to the table and I felt he taught me a lot. If he was the type of man to let me making more money intimidate him, then that would be a major problem. A lot of men can't get with that.

I generally have no choice in the matter.

Let's look at it beyond a persons earning potential because you can make more than I do, but at the end of the day I may have more expendable cash flow. So that's what is really important. The focus shouldnt be on who makes more cus after yall break up, your bills are still your bills. I could be making roughly $40,000 a month driving an 89 Corsica living phat with no other bills than utilities in an apartment saving money to purchase a home. Meanwhile, She's earning $60,000 driving a 07 Range Rover with a $600 dollar note, student loans in excess of a few hundred, and $1100 house mortgage with barely enough to get by. I'm sure there are people on this board who know alot of broke well paid mofos.

I do know what you mean.

I'm definitely not dating a man who can't take care of himself on his salary. I respect a janitor who owns his home and car more than the "upcoming producer" with an apartment and leasing his car. I dated this cool bus driver once who owned multiple properties and had his finances together. I would have never known if I hadn't given him a chance

And that's part of the problem. A lot of women don't. The real wealth men aren't going to looking wealthy because why should they? They're wealthy.

And femm what do you mean you "don't have a choice?" Is that to say you are in the high tax bracket and every man you meet is going to make less money than you.

Well generally the men I meet don't make more than me. But I am someone who will work 2 full time jobs to get the things I want. I'm mad my current schedule doesn't allow for that right now.
