Yeah,right.I've heared d popular cliche',"it doesn't matter as long as we understand each other".In as much as i agree that both patners can sustain the marriage when there's understanding,i also believe that a woman's ego may not let such marriage last

I can't even marry a lady who earns same or below with me. Girl power shouldn't end only on social media, she should use that strength and power to make enough money for us.

the important question IS: what wrong with a woman who earns more than her man?!

...or better yet: are you that insecure about the woman you want to spend the rest of your natural life with?!

Forget her money. Watch her ego. There lies the truth. I've done it and I'll say to men to watch it and be very careful. Their work environment has turned them to something else. With rivalry and competition their work environment has instilled in them,pytting up with such energy on a consistent basis would mean heart attack, untimely death grin

Not all lose themselves anyway sha. But ego must be watched and consistently

That's not a criterion to avoid; I will marry a woman I love, and who shares my beliefs.

If you notice your partner is disrespecting you because of "job energy", you should not be that much of a bitch that you cannot tell her to "keep that energy at work" and not bring it to where you live....and mean it. She will appreciate you for calling her out on it.

Some women find it difficult to compartmentalize like that because in their minds everything is connected. That's why they have you to check them and then let them know how. Balance and compartmentalization.

As to the general topic of this thread, I like that she makes all the money she can.
The best situation to be in is when monthly expenses can be covered up by one person's income so the other person's income can be used for investments, etc.

You're spit on brotherly. But these generation's are diehards. It didn't work one bit. They exhibit that filthy character flaw and most times don't know they carry over that toxic energy into non-working activities


If a woman can effectively compartmentlaize without bringing job energy into the mix,then finance may not necessarily be an issue

A man who earns less than you will kill you. I advise any woman never date below your class all in the name of love. Trust me. What a child can’t see standing up the grown can see sitting down.

They should stay single. There are many young jobless girls that will happily replace them

The most they will become is single mother.

I wouldn't marry a woman who earns more than me either. Once a woman begins to earn more money than her husband, she will become cocky and arrogant.... Everything must be done her way even when she is wrong or is not her business otherwise, rude talk or malice will start.

It will not end there, she will be broadcasting to everyone who cares to listen how her husband is spineless and she's the one doing everything in the home.

There are many of them 35-45 and single flaunting their money by day, but are bitter and lonely at night. When you start dating them initially, they are homely and nice... After 2-3 months, they start "director" tendencies.

And emotionally, they're a mess. Too many heartbreaks have made them bitter, resentful and numb.

You sound so bitter and your experience cannot be same as others.

Believe me, you need therapy sessions with a psychiatrist to uproot the pains of the past.

As a matter of fact, I know many married women who are bread winners and carrying their husbands along. Stop acting as if you know it all.

Not all men give a damn about what a woman earns until she starts rubbing it on their face. Money and class are temporary

Even If she earns triple of my salary, I would still marry her so as far she has good qualities of a wife material. I'm gone pass the at stone age of many African Men...

The only time this will be an issue is if the man is a bum.
Then ofcourse resentment will set in.
As long as you don't get comfortable over the mindset of "My wife has money", and you are also keeping things balanced around the house, And she is not psychotic, then you'll be fine.

If you are doing you and handling things and she is still a bitch, look I'm not above divorcing a woman who is hellbent on being disrespectful. This is one thing she will know about me from day one. Respect is my number 1 love language.
