Would it bother if woman earned more money than her man?

My parents are like the same. Of course the situation will be different since my parents are married and you are not. My father stopped working since I was in highschool, so my mom ended to be the sole bread winner for the family. Until the time came that they argue for financial matter which is really a sensitive topic for any relationship. It's been years already, they stopped fighting, but you know, they are cold with each other. So I guess I don't want to see you with that situation. I think, now you can still bear what is happening but the questions is until when? I think it will be better, if both of you still share the expenses on your dates, he shares you share. His shopping splurges? if you are being proactive in offering it to him, that's ok, but him asking you to buy this and that, I think that is something that could really turn me off.

If emng you loved him why emng with the condition financial your girlfriend, underwent then in a relaxed manner.

thats too bad... you should have realised it before and spent less. anyways, its bad that in a relationship, only the woman has to pay all the bills. it should be shared equally... not by only one partner...

Hi Reyah, I think its fine that you have done this because it not about power and money its about means of getting by and i am sure aslong as he wasnt using you he could and would love to one day return the fovour. We live in a world where women are deperate to be seen as equal and what you did proved that.x

even though women fight for equality, our society is still patriarchal. a man not paying for the dates of her girlfriend will definitely hurt his ego. a man is expected to be the provider of his family, and when this is not the case, he may be hurting inside because of what is happening. in your case, since it was just a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, i think its alright for you to treat him to your dates but not all the time. i also have a girlfriend, and we had a movie and lunch date yesterday and she payed for it because she is the one who had extra money. it's alright to me because most of the time i am the one paying for our dates and sometimes we pay for ourselves only. at the end of the day, it doesnt matter if the boy or the girl is the one paying the bills, its the happy moments that you spend together that counts, and you must think of the money your spending as conjugal property. money must be the last reason for a couple to fight.

in my point, it is a pressure that man earn less money than woman, it is not a good feeling that your girlfriend always pay the bills for the dates. man should try his best to be a stanchion of family. even he have big job pressure, but it is his responsibility.

In the beginning of our relationships he was in almost financial ruin. We have managed to turn it around and we are doing very well now. he now earns more than me, but I have more money and assets all together. We never talk about who brings what money, or who pays for things. We do however have papers drawn up to state who own what from the beginning of our relationship.
