Of course it can, which is why it's important to recognize someones value beyond how much money they bring into the house.


Not at all, she's retired and I still work! The only problem this causes is I'm jealous of her and wish I was retired.

potentially, but not necessarily.


It's definitely a sensitive subject, but it just depends on the individual's view on money and respecting each other's financial situation.


I think unless there is a clear and solid understanding of how to income is distributed, it can become tense and possibly cause irreparable damage.


I don't think so at all. Money shouldn't matter in a relationship. One should also not lose one's identity in a relationship and earning your own money gives you individuality.


Nah...


I see how it could but it doesn't cause any issues between us.


I wish ..;)

Yes if the relationship is based more on utility as opposed to love.


yes! it creates dependency issues and puts a LOT of stress on the primary bread winner to continue and better the other persons lifestyle.


Not sure. We have similar incomes.
