He has the looks, inner beauty, treats you right, all that good stuff but makes less money than you and probably always will. So, is he still "the one"?

I really dont think it matters who makes the most money in a household- as long as each partner is pulling their own weight in the relationship. If she is making more money, working more hours, cleaning the house, cooking dinner, and mowing the yard while you watch Sportscenter then thats a different story. Strong work ethic is a difficult characteric to find in any individual-it is cherished when found.

Less money...????
That depends on what you mean by the term less money!!
If the margin is really wide then that is sad because it tells you two things...
1. He's financially unable to take care of you
and
2. His education level is lower than yours.
Personally, I cannot date a man who is duller than me.
I like to talk about issues and I need a man who can match my mental capacity and challenge my ideas; challenge me to think.
If his salary is smaller than yours, you need to consider if its sufficent to take care of you and some kids.
Definitely, when the kids come along, you'll have to stop working for a while and you need to know that he can maintain you.
I know that my last thought was probably stretching it a bit but honey Marriage without money is a bad investment.
Don't you ever ever ever in your life forget that.
If you feel that you can both work with the situation, trust me there are times that the money thing will be an issue and will be the source of nasty fights. You need to prepare yourself for that because it will come up.
The arguments are the same.
He feels emasculated, you wear the jeans int he relationship, he supposed to be the one doin that etc. and all the other stories.
But think about it dear and if you can overcome that then don't let anything stop you from enjoying the best thing that could have happened to you

It would depend on your mentality of the situation. No one person in a relationship has to make more than the other. If you are happy with that person and your situation is not causing any confusion, then continue with what you are doing. Unless you listen to other people and live your life on what they say, you will be having doubts all the time. I say if you are happy and everything is going good for you keep him. If you decide to let him go because of a financial barrier like who makes more, then you may end up with someone that will take total advantage of you and won't make you as happy as that last person.
Be careful of your decision and don't listen to what others are saying.
Let your heart lead your decision.
Good Luck

O sod all this 'i wear the pants crap' if you love each other u learn to work it out between you, what money goes where etc... as long as your partner is pulling their weight and making enough money to live upon (realistically) there should be no probs. My boyfriends wonderful, and treats me even though he doesnt have any money (as has just moved into a new flat and has £2 a day for himself once all his bills have gone out) and then he goes and buys me a £20 chest of drawers... makes it even more special. I wouldnt want to wear pants anyway... pants are for boys (in the uk).

Sure. My b/f makes less money than me and probably always will. I have 2 university degrees and he only has 2 college diplomas. Would be nice if he made more money, but he is a sweet guy (most days), and we live together. He has terrible credit, but there's more to life than money. I make my own money so he has to live with his own financial situation.

If you cant love a man without a specific amount of money then your love is not real anyway and any man who is with you is wasting his life with you and should leave you because you are a whore who just cares about his money.

it'll be an extra plus point if he does, but hey we women only wants to feel secure... from our creadit cards bill, our shopping bills, our spa bills...
the fact is , many women wants an emotional relationship. it'll feel difficult if a man somekind of a gold digger, but in my tradition saying "fortune doesn't go anywhere, it's yours when it's time"
no money, no honey
