In today's society, we see women stepping out more in the working world, taking on new challenges, going into new territory that was previously deemed for males only. Now they are earning the same incomes and even more. This might not be in the same field but there are realtionships where the women earn more than the men. Are men really comfortable with this? Or do you just grin and bear it and suffer silently? Coming from an age where ego is high and men are seen as the providers and bread winners, is it that you now see your masculinity as threatened? Can you both work together as a couple regardless of the female's financial standing and still be truly happy? If so for how long before the green eyed monster creeps in, you can no longer deal with it, hence you become aggressive towards your spouse and even accuse her of infidelity? Your attitude towards her changes, you push her away although she is still the loving spouse to you. On the flip side, does the woman now think that she can do better, she needs someone to match her income, who can provide for her instead of her having to spend more to maintain the household. Does she now see him as beneath her and treats him as such? This seems to be a tough one doesn't it? The question is, what drew these persons together in the first
place? Was it love or just the need for a relationship until some one better comes along? It may seem damaging to a man's ego, but would you lose out on true love because of this? If the woman loves you and is kind to you and sees you as her equal regardless of income, would you give her up because of your ego? For the woman, what matters more to you, the man or his ability to love and support you the best way he can?
I believe that regardless of one's income, a relationship can work if both persons love and respect each other. What if one person comes to the relationship with a lot of financial baggage, should the other person "bail" them out? Well that's another blog.
