Is it a problem for you if your girlfriend (or wife) makes significantly more than you?

No probem for me because i understand that the industry my wife is in pays a higher salary. Although i may feel the urge to switch jobs and get a higher pay but i understand that this is not healthy as it may turn into having a low self esteem. So i am actually happy my wife is earning more than me as we can then work together as a team for a better lifestyle

If my wife earns more, I will be thankful. Very thankful that I can have such a team mate.

​

If she is successful in her field and depending on the industry, your pay may never come close to matching hers even if you try very hard. The question to ask yourself is if that is ok and if not, why?

​

I guess instead of feeling lousy, we can learn to be thankful and focus on other ways to support her and the family :)

It depends on the man. When the man earns less but if he's hardworking and not calculative when paying for both of our expenses, I see no issue at all, in fact I will even insist in sharing expenses together and will willingly pay more. However, if the man earns less and then has the attitude of "Oh she earns more, she should pay most of the time, I will just pretend I have no cash", it is a big NO NO. This is based on personal experience with dating these two types of men.

Of course not. Bonus if she tops up my CPF ;)
