[quote=Anonymous]I don't think being the higher earning spouse (when your spouse also makes a significant income) make you the "breadwinner." I have a friend who keeps saying this about her own family. She makes substantially more than her husband, but his income is still a significant portion of their family income. Neither of you is the breadwinner. You have a two income family, and one of you has a higher income. It's a real slap in the face to the lower income partner to say the higher income one is the breadwinner, as though their income is nothing. And also, it's shitty to all the single parents and sole earners among us who actually are the breadwinners for our families. If you lose your job, OP, and your partner keeps theirs, you'd have to reduce your family spending by more than half. That would be a crisis. But your family would still have income. If the true breadwinner in a family loses their income and cannot find a new job, that family becomes homeless.[/quote]
