[quote=Anonymous]No. My husband I had a similar difference when we met and later married - $40k/$120k. My salary has increased, but now our earnings are similar. He also came into marriage with no debt and no expensive tastes or hobbies that I have to support. Kids are expensive. A house with space for kids and good schools is expensive. It really sucks if you are a female breadwinner when your kids are 0-3yr old because you have to be pregnant, breastfeeding, most kids prefer Mom, etc. Even if you have an amazing partner who cooks and cleans, so much baby care falls on mom. If you are working full time and your partner is also working (but doesn’t bring home much) it gets annoying if the lower paid spouse has a less-flexible job. If you need/want to step back and go part time or change jobs after kids, you won’t have that option because he can’t step up and earn more for a bit if needed. [/quote]
