What's your opinion???
What would you do if a woman makes more money than you in a relationship, for me I don't think it's a bad thing as much as I'd like to be with someone who makes more than I do. I'm fond of spoiling my man as well.🙂

I don't care who "earns more income" - in my world, most of it would still go into the same pot.
I say "most of it" because life has taught me that it's a good idea to hold some money independently of the other in case of financial abuse or events where a joint account may not be accessible.

@HootyTheNightOwl There you go. All that lovey dovey crap is for show.
@sree251 Hahaha... If you say so.
The truth is that independence is a valuable commodity to have in any relationship. How can somebody choose something if you gave them no choice???

@HootyTheNightOwl No choice? You mean no trust, don't you? Mother's always tell their daughters: "You've got to be financially independent. You don't want to be caught in a bind; especially, when you have kids. You can't trust men." Believing that your wife is happy with the same pot is one thing, thinking that her mother is as happy is something else. Contempt of a mother-in-law is a big deal. Woke men are like hyenas.
@sree251 I don't give a flying shit what mothers tell their daughters.
All I know is that a lack of access to the household income for 20+ years leaves the dependant spouse trapped in a situation that they might not want to be in - and, if you need to maintain a relationship by strangling off a spouse's access to money... then it's quite clear that YOU are the one who has trust issues that you need to receive treatment for.
A relationship isn't about strangling your partner to death - but giving them the resources to break you - and trusting them not to do so.
