Would it bother you if your SO/spouse made more money than you?
Spinoff of the Huffman thread. Finances are a huge factor in relationships as everyone already knows. My question is exactly what I stated, would it bother you if your spouse or SO made more money than you did? Obviously I am kind of aiming this at the male posters on the board. Would it hurt your "ego" if she made more money? Once my fiance gets out of school she will make a lot more money than I do. I don't really have a problem with that but sometimes my pride makes me want to make more money than she will. I guess it also depends on your spouse or SO in regards to if they would use that factor against you and throw it in your face. I would assume most would not, but in a fight many people say things they wouldn't always say.

My wife does make more money than I do, although she does work a lot of overtime. So no, I don't mind at all.

I make more but not a lot more. If she came home tonight and said she got a nice raise I would be very excited for both of us. Marriage is a team sport IMO. There is no need for foolish pride to get in the way.

I don't think it's foolish pride to know when you're being a doormat and not putting up with it.

I'm all for marriage being a team sport. But when you're the LT for a QB that doesn't get rid of the ball and then you get blamed for it.

You'd have an issue w/ that teammate as well.

I'm curious to see why it doesn't bother you, if you don't mind expounding a little?

My wife has worked hard to earn every penny that she makes. There is no reason to begrudge her that.

The more money that comes into our household to support our family and allow us to do more things as family is a good thing. Who is responsible for bringing the money in is irrellevant.

My wife makes more than I do. She has been in her industry longer and is very well respected. Not only does it not bother me, but the fact that she is a true professional and rock star at what she does is one of the things that attracted me to her.
