Ladies, how do you/would you feel if you went from making a lot less than your husband to suddenly making significantly more than him? Guys how would that make you feel? Do you think it would change your relationship for the better or worse? Why?

I don´t mind who earns more, but as a gentelman I could never accept money from her! If we have our living, let her spend the additional money as long as she will not buy me Porsche

At the moment I earn more than my partner. He has no problem with it. We tend to use my wages for most of our bills and use his for savings. However I'D prefer him to be the bread winner - as next year we plan on having children and I plan on either being at home (a full time house wife) looking after the children or only working part time and still being with the kids. And for that to work he would have to be the main bread winner.

I suggest u don't accept the money from her but you should manage the money together. Then you will have less problem in the future but why managing the money she earns, consider some of her needs but not all.

That it. This is the german way to do it and because I know a little bit about live I think every woman should have some extra of her own to be happy.

Please educate me Honeycome, what would happen if a man accepts money from his wife when he is broke?

well i don't think it matters. As long as who ever is doing the breadwinning (especially if its the woman) does not rub the partner's nose in it. As long as you don't use it as a weapon for power struggle in the marriage. Mutual respect is important.

I believe, when you call someone your wife, you should have things in common, there are so many ways you could get money from your wife. I don't really know what you mean by getting money from your wife, do you want to use the money personally? or for family's needs? if personally it might be hard, so you have to let her understand that what you are using the money for is for the family. Like i said management and understanding are the main issue when situation turns like this, when a man don't have money to continue his project for the family, then you have to know how to manage your wife's money. "When i say a man, i mean responsible man ! ! ! "
