I'd say more so if the woman is earning more, but really if you a united partnership it should be something that you can deal with.


No. I think it's not being financially responsible that would cause problems not difference in income.


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.


Yes. I feel guilty at my lack of income


Nooope! I wouldn't care! :)


No that's not important
Agreed.

I guess that they could potentially, unless the relationship is other strong in other aspects..!


It can


I don't necessarily think that differences in income are a problem for us. I do think it's difficult for her, being someone that has always worked, to all of a sudden stop working and put all her trust into me and our relationship. I can see why it's scary for her. What if things don't work out? She left her career for the advancement of mine. I feel somewhat selfish for being the reason she had to leave her job so I could advance.


Idk depends I guess

I'm sure it does. It's a power thing. But not for me. It's a very narrow-minded and selfish approach. Never would it be a problem for me.
