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.

I've made more money than Lumpy for years but not anymore. It doesn't bother me at all but she's definitely not making what she's worth. She really busts her ass.

I don't think the fact that she made more money than me would bother me. We need more money, and her making more would be a major plus for us.

What would bother me is that she was making more money than me with no college degree. Would probably make me feel like my degree was devalued.

Hell no. My ex made more than me and I was proud of her. If I marry a girl who makes as much or me than me then we'll be in sound financial shape.

My wife does make more than I do and I have no problem with it. As a matter of fact, I told her that she needs to figure out how to double her income so I can just stay home while she works.

That's what I'm talkin' about.

I can make some crazy cash on the side while watching old kung foo movies in my boxers, waking up at noon and drinking cocktail by the pool. Just tell me when to look pretty sweetheart.

EDIT: Once again, a noob misses the Gaz option. DaFace, make an example of this man

the problem is not the guy's attitude. the problem is the woman getting all uppity if she makes more. from what i've seen, things are shared equally when the guy makes more, but if the woman makes more then you have the 'why don't you make more' arguments and the 'i make more so the difference is mine' arguments. the sense of teamwork is dependent on the woman getting more than her share.

not in every case, i'm sure, but i've observed the pattern enough to propose it as a strong theory.

My sociology professor from 8 years ago said whoever makes more is the boss and has more say in financial decisions. While he currently made more than his wife, and was the boss in financial matters, he admitted that once he retired in a couple of years she would become the boss.

I think Rain Man makes a good point. It also gives people like in-laws ammo to put in commentary,etc. If the male makes all/more money, that is fine. If it is the other way around, people put their two cents in more.
