Do you mind your partner earning less than you?

I'm a female and I admit that I earn more than my boyfriend does. It's disturbing once you analyze it but it's not that important to me. Actually, as long as your partner can contribute in everyway possible (in making your savings grow) then that's okay. In my opinion, I don't mind if my boyfriend earns less than me because I know that's his doing his best for himself and for us. I don't like demanding and expecting a lot because I will just end up getting disappointed about everything in case everything doesn't work out according to what I want. I don't really care whether my boyfriend earns more or less than me. Money is not a very big issue for me. ^^ I'm contented with whatever he can give me. Although I admit that it wouldn't hurt to do some wishful thinking sometimes...Hehe!

I m a male and m student now.. I dont think that higher earning will create any gap between the good men and his partner.Because if there is a true understanding between them, there is no possibility of contradictions, misunderstandings.

I do not think that should create any gap between the two. In today's world of competition, there are jobs which brings in more money and some less. By chance if woman gets higher earning job, she should take it, after all the money is for family.

im a female. for now, im a transcriptionist. and still on the process of improving my skill. and eventually, i can earn more than what my boyfriend is earning. and i dont mind if he is going to earn lower that what will i earn. waht's important is that he's striving hard to improve himself. and to earn on his own way.

I am a a female who earns less than her partner. But this isnt even a problem I face due to lack of trying or lack of anything. I am a Post Graduate, with honours and I work 10 hours a day. I know I am a part of the great majority of women who earn less than their spouses, boyfriends, etc, An added disadvantage is all the people in our social circle also earn far more than I do which means quite often, though no one does it purposely, I do end up feeling like I dont belong and that I cant have as fancy or glamorous a life. One of my best friends recently celebrated her 27th birthday and her entire outfit for the night was a months salary for me. There are many occasions where I feel like I dont fit in and there are times when I worry about how it might affect my future with my partner. There are times when I feel guilty that he may have to sacrifice on certain things and may not enjoy the quality of life that he could if I wasnt there. And I worry that he may one day grow to resent me for this. With what I earn I would never be able to contribute financially to our life at home. I would never be able to pay rent. At the most I can contribute by buying a fortnights worth of groceries. To make up for the lack of financial contribution, I have tried to find my own ways of contributing. I work 10 hours a day but still come home everynight and cook dinner and do most of the day to day cleaning But there are still times when I feel that it isnt enough and worry that the fears and worries I have may one day affect my relationship. I worry that I will never be able to afford the designer wear that all my friends do, I worry that I will never be able to afford the fancy holidays, entire afternoons at spas, etc. So many people say that money isnt everything. But its so easy to say it when you have it.
