So would it bother you if your girlfriend or wife made more money than you? I'm glad I make more than my girlfriend. I just makes me feel better. I think some would rub it in your face if they made more. I made this because one of my friends girlfriend makes more than him and he feels bad about it.

Well...I think it'd be silly if someone was bothered by their wife making more money since it should be a partnership and both should equally share their money.

But if your girlfriend makes more money than you? I can see it. It bothered me that my ex-boyfriend made more money than I made(when we was my boyfriend, of course).

Nah. Wouldn't bother me. If its a girlfriend it just means she can buy me tonnes of presents instead of me buying her tonnes of presents. If its a wife our income would be shared so it won't matter.

Not at all. In fact, I'd welcome it. Income is income.

what u said is an ideal situation..but not all of wives share their incomes with their husbands and not all of GFs are going to buy u tonnes of presents instead of nothing that u'd buy them in reverse

Even in a non-ideal situation It wouldn't matter as long as I loved her.

I'd probably look for another job if she made ALOT more than me. But if by a small margin I wouldn't mind.

No. I cannot see any reason to why it should bother anyone... unless there is some sort of artificial "manliness" factor I am missing out on. I hope I can find a woman who has a successful career and makes as much or more money than me, since raising kids in Canada is becoming exceedingly expensive and the average wage hasn't gone up more than $200 in 25 years.

If we're cool about it, no.

If she makes a point to note that out most of the time, yes.

But to be secure with myself, I'll take yes.

It would depend on how much more. If she only made a little bit more it wouldn't bother me as long as she wouldn't shove it in my face. But if she made like 120K per year and I only made about 50K that would bother me a lot.

Nope, my girlfriend does make more money than I do. The only thing that bothers me is that I could work a 60 hour week and she'd still have $200 - $300 over me but such is life, I got into doing one thing, it got in my blood, and now as much as I want to quit I know I'm going to miss it too much.

Not really... I think I'd actually prefer it since then I'd be able to persue jobs I like over jobs that pay.

Of course there's always the problem of having to move if she gets a job somewhere else, or not being able to take a job I really want somewhere else if she can't relocate.

Nope. I want to teach when I'm older. It doesn't make a lot of money, but I wouldn't mind if my girlfriend/wife made more than me, because I'm doing a job that I love. :D

So would it bother you if your girlfriend or wife made more money than you? I'm glad I make more than my girlfriend. I just makes me feel better. I think some would rub it in your face if they made more. I made this because one of my friends girlfriend makes more than him and he feels bad about it. xSIZEMATTER

Wouldn't bother me at all. In fact, ideally she would make so much that I don't have to work at all. Then I could sit around at home all day while she goes out and works for both of us.
