No if you feel threatened by this then something else is troubling you in your marriage or feelings toward him. You need to talk to him about how you feel and you may fine what is bugging you.

Contrary to what Kimberly says you should not stay home, go shopping and paint your nails all day. Trust me. My situation with my husband is the same. I work full time and so does he. However, he makes nearly 3 times as much as I do. I can assure you that this does not matter much to your husband. What matters the most is that you care enough to at least contribute. Even if you don't pay any bills, he still appreciates that you earn your own money to buy the things you want and need, instead of using his money.

No you should not.
But I have an idea to tell you. I think you may feel threatened that you might not be in the same level as he is in dollar term, I think that's not what matters... what matters is that you understand up, support his career, develop and maintain common language with him so you guys can communicate the same level of language.
I have heard horror stories of house wives who ... over the years can only think of cooking, cleaning and shopping and baby sitting and that's all they talk about...
husbands come home and they feel like they lost common language with their wives and they seek other women who they feel more connected with... DON'T let this happen to you.. that's why no matter what I tell myself I CANNOT be a house wife... I gotta work and be in touch with the outside world that my husband is in ... maintain the common language~

Is he threatening you?
Are the bills being paid?
Does he use his money to control you?
If none of this is happening - I have no idea why you should feel threatened.

You shouldn't feel threatened as long as he loves you and is able to care for you. What difference does it make if he makes more than you as long as he still comes home at night to you.

what's wrong with you!!!!
do you know how many women would kill to have a man that can take care of them financially?
if you want to increase your income,look for a job making more money for U or go back to school and learn a trade that is in high demand

I don't know, what part of it makes you feel threatened? Are you scared of something? Are you worried he will provide for you TOO well - just what could it be. Emotionally, you should be in heaven, practically, as well.

It's better that the man be the primary breadwinner. Give up this feminist streak that you have (which contributes to a lot of problems in relationships and in the world, in general).

I don't think that you should feel threatened. If he makes a big deal about it, than maybe you should talk to him about how it makes you feel.
