The only problem it is creating for me, as the much lower earner, is very extreme guilt. I don't know how to feel better about that. I always want to contribute my share and that isn't possible right now, and when I think about it I feel sick. The best I can do is try to be a wonderful wife for you. I love you!
No, if it did you are with the wrong person.

Nope we are a team and each play an important role.
Yes I feel guilty because you work so hard so you do get exercise I do not I love my bike
They can. But it doesn't matter to me who makes the most money. As long as both of you love each other, money is not #1. She is #1
I think it's easy to say no it shouldn't matter but it can easily cross from a partnership into one having more control over the other and it's tough to keep from sliding down that slope.
Sometimes. I think the person that doesn't make as much feels a little intimidated spending money or asking for money.
It definitely can.
I don't have much of a problem with it I enjoy paying, plus when someone is worth it you arnt really "paying" anything. Its an investment into their happiness and that is worth it.
Kinda. I don't mind her making more. I'm happy with taking care of her emotionally, and her personal desires. But I will make more for a while.
I think it does in some people. I know it doesn't in mine. But that is a make or break for some
no not at all we are a team and we rock !!!
I'd say more so if the woman is earning more, but in a united partnership it's something that you should be able to deal with.
