[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You've been together for 10 years and just now thinking maybe a serious convo about how to share money is in order? I mean this kindly, I am concerned for you guys. [/quote]

OP here.  Well, like I said, this kinda happened in the last year or so, and really accelerated in the last 8 months.  Middle of last year, I was making $140 and she was making $165, so it wasn't that big of an issue, we were fine with the 50/50 split.  Then she got a job offer at a startup, and I kinda pushed her to take it because I had a steady job and it seemed like a good risk/reward position for her.  She took the job, and the startup got bought out almost immediately.  Then after series of job leveling and a promotion her salary went from $165->$200->$230->$300 in less then 6 months.  It's now been a couple months since then and we are just working out how we should handle this. I figured I would ask how others have handled it to see if there any situations that we might be able to take notes from.[/quote]
