Nowadays its most common that ladies and men both work and both earn for the family. Girls these days are concentration more on studies and their career when compared to those girls a couple of decades back. It has changed a lot and they are earning qually with guys.
Well after getting married or getting into a relationship, what if your partner is earning more than you. If you are a husband and if your wife earns more would you feel ashamed or inferior to her, or you wont mind that. Vice-a-versa what if you are wife and your husband earns more than what you earn. What difference does it make or do you think it doesnt make any diffrence. Please do share your ideas.

i think it is going to make difference. so many things actually depends on money. whatever all the ideal speeches say, we can't do without money. i think still in indian society many feel ashamed if the wife earns more. it may not affect the relationship directly, but it has effect.

Yes as you said that inferiority complex prevails in India, if my wife earns more than me i won't mind. Infact it depends on the kind of jobs we are doing and the stream we are into cause the payscale differs from job to job and stream to stream so it depends.

well, I am a 24 year old stay at home mom of three. And I couldnt see myself doing anything else. So, my boyfriend definitely makes more money than me. I dont mind. I think that we chose our roles, our duties when we had children, and that is what we do.
