[quote=Anonymous]You have to have a pretty fragile male ego and a pretty extreme sense of gender roles to be bothered by earning less than your wife. DW started earning 2x my $250k in the last few years and will out earn me by a lot for the rest of our careers. We met in college and she had better grades and went to law school right away. So I went to work and put her through law school. After DC was born, I went to grad school, and it was her turn to pay the bills, including for a nanny. Then for the next decade plus, I significantly out earned her as she worked in government, but we thought we were doing pretty well. Splitting the domestic work has never been an issue because we both work long hours and we pay other people to do it for us, except for cooking b/c I enjoy it. When she went to a firm and suddenly started making big bucks, it felt like I won the lottery. [/quote]
