[quote=Anonymous]I make about 3x more than my husband (have always made more than him and probably always will). Conceptually, it doesn't bother him, nor do I resent him for making less. We don't have kids and don't plan to, and although we try to split household responsibilities evenly, a lot of it does fall on me. Partially because I'm type A and just assume responsibility for things, but also because his work is less flexible. I try to remember that I should not expect him to "make up" for his lower salary in other ways - he still works a demanding full-time job just like me and we are a team. We have had to make a conscious effort to make financial decisions together, so that he doesn't feel like I'm the one with all the control. [/quote]
