[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I out earn my husband, am younger and have less degrees than he does. But, I have always been a hard worker and don’t think I’d be content if I wasn’t. He earns less, but isn’t particularly driven in his career and prioritizes being a good and present father which is awesome. It works out well since we balance each other out. Sometimes it gets to me though and I wish he’d be more driven or earn more. Sometimes it feels like all the pressure is on me to achieve the type of lifestyle I’d like to have one day & the harder I work the more he’s come to rely on my earnings.

If I’m being honest [b]many of my friends out earn their husbands.[/b] They are successful and amazing women, but definitely more tired and stressed than their husbands. [/quote]

Pretty much throughout the 20th century, almost all the high-paying jobs were held by husbands.  Now we are in the 21st century, lots of them are held by women, women who hypocritically resent their husbands for not holding those very same high-paying jobs.  Just as a good husband does not resent his SAHM wife, a good high-earning wife should not resent her lower-earning husband.  Resentment is the best possible recipe for divorce.[/quote]
