Because a man could be an idiot and still become a "high income, 500k salary professional" but a woman could not, and OP describes someone behaving like an idiot.
The truth of this has me laughing and crying at the same time.

Is this OP? So it isn’t rational and based on childhood scarcity. You need to take over bill payment. $35k means he’s run the card up to it’s limit because he’s afraid the cash will run out someday.
No our limit is over 100k
