When I met my wife she was making more than me and it didn't bother me a bit. I am comfortable with myself and I was proud of her and what she had acheived.

In the old days its was generally frowned upon for women to earn more than men! - Man the provider! woman the house keeper. aaah! how times have changed!.
My partners earns a great deal more than I do!, she is a career minded go getter! who cant stand household chores, seems to thrive on the cut and thrust of corporate politics.
So In our household the traditional rolls of bread winner have been reversed, I'm the stay at home house person happy to do the mundane household stuff while she pursues her career , we're both happy. and that what really counts!..

If my wife earned more it would be tough on me but it would be how it is. I would have to learn to accept it. The plus side would be that I could be a stay at home dad. That would be a lot of fun and hard work.

So, stop living in the past. Yes a long time ago the man when to work and the woman stayed home and raised the kids.
In today's world you need two incomes to make it, and if the woman makes more than the man who cares. It's no ones business who makes more you or him.

It is not a problem!!! In these times there are a lot more woman making the same or more? As long as they don't argue about who makes more? The both of you can buy your own things if needed!!
