The first advice is simply not to resent him for it.
My wife can work part-time and bring in more than I can working full-time with as much overtime as I can grab.
We have a “medically-fragile” kid, which means one of us has to stay home. My wife would dearly love to be a stay-at-home mother. But with the mountain of debt from her schooling, that just isn’t feasable.
We’ve gotten into many a flaming row about it. She’s never accepted her role as “breadwinner” with good graces.
Second, don’t be petty.
Making more than he does isn’t a big deal. Rubbing it in, or throwing the gauntlet of “It’s *my* money”, is.
