In our marriage, DH earns all the money and I spend as I please. When we first started dating, we were both in grad school. He still paid for my meals back then. I earned more than DH when we first got married. I paid for our first down payment, most of our wedding and most of all our vacations. Fast forward a decade and I stay home and take care of our children and DH now earns a seven figure income.

[b]I just can’t imagine going Dutch at any income level.[/b] Do you make exactly the same? It is unlikely that both parties make exactly the same forever. In our circles, one spouse tends to cut back, not necessarily stay home so income will take a hit.[/quote]

You sound like an entitled princess who just uses what's between her legs to get what she wants. Some women have intelligence, integrity, and independent spirits. Hopefully you're not teaching your daughters to do the same as you. [/quote]
PP don't be disgusting just for the shock value. She clearly stated that she handled expenses when she made more.[/quote]
