My wife has always made more than I do (aside from the first year while she was finishing college). We were lucky in that we both had nothing when we got married and got used to putting the money in a common pot (i.e. “our” money) early. We both work full-time (she puts in more hours than I do most of the time), but she doesn’t make me feel like a slacker for not making more money. I think that’s the key.
We’ve been married 36 yrs and both of us will probably be retiring this year. Her retirement will bring in far more than mine. So what, money is fungible.
I think that because I am a (relatively) old fart, I’m secure in my masculinity. Besides, my mustache is much nicer than hers.
