the BREADWINNER of the family...

Can you still feel like a man if you married a woman who made more money than you, or if you married a career woman who didnt make as much as you from the beginning, but climbed up the ladder of opportunity, got several promotions throughout the years and is now making more than you...and you are still making the same amount when yall first married.Would you be okay with it??

As men would you be comfortable with your wife being the breadwinner in the household???

I think it'd depend for me if the reason she was making more money was because my job was terrible and i was being a scrub or if she just had a real good job with a good salary. If I was being a scrub, I'd definately get my ass up and do whatever i can do to fix it, but if she was just doing her thing I wouldn't mind, I'd be happy for her. My father and mother used to be like this in fact.

^^^ Yeah mine also. There was a time when my mom was the breadwinner. Not by much more than my father, but he didnt have a problem with supporting my mother when she was bringing home the bigger check.

My momma makes $2, 000 more than my father or something like that. She tells me that sometimes it bothers him. Either way it goes the money is to support the family.

As long as we both successful as far as reaching are full potential goes then amount of money bein made ain't a factor.
