My most recent 5 year long relationship. However, it wasnt a huge difference even though she did mention it a few times that "only if I could be earning a little more"....lol. Oddly enough, a couple months after our breakup I doubled my salary. Most of the 5 years we did really well with money, sharing expanses etc - it was never a poinbt of contention or an issue really
You dated a feminist raised in our brainwashed society? Somebody who worked and paid for stuff?
How did you stand it, John? Did you just close your eyes or something?
Nope, I actually dated someone born in another country. Nice try though.
Oh, it's only feminism if it's in this country.
Otherwise, it's working, being self-supporting and having premarital sex AND choosing one's own sexual/romantic relationship as far as entering it, then exiting it at will to find another...without female empowerment.

Good to know.
Dont be so bitter JerZ. I must have said something that was true, for you to respond in this way. Does that give you a pause? Maybe you can revisit your views on the subject

In order to be logical and reasonable, I need to be bitter?
John, you are an entertainment, that's for sure.
Anyway, good that you didn't feel resentful (obviously) of her making money per this thread. Neither did my husband, though he didn't have to go out of the country to find me, because working women are all over the U.S. and he didn't have a problem dating in general and finding girlfriends (the last being me).
FWIW, I don't really know any other men IRL who resent this sort of situation, which is becoming more common.

"Does that give you a pause?" No, LOL. :?:
I dont know, seems like I touched a nerve somewhere. Are you sure you will be ok? I can offer you some politically correct opinions to smooth things over, if that helps.
One... of two (I was picky, only 2 girls made it more than 3 dates)... so Half of them all?
My wife makes roughly Double the best I've ever made, and has since about year 3 out of college... or ~15 years. Works for us, other people think all sorts of things that range the whole scale... thankfully, I know that what others think is of no consequence.
Here's something interesting, if it makes a difference and applies. I've never minded making more than a man and never had a man mind that I made more, but I have had men afraid of making more than I did. (I never asked to be treated beyond what I was willing to treat and never focused on the money aspect so it couldn't have been that.)
Not tons of men, granted. Most just don't think about it...but I always found that interesting. Not sure why that was.
This is JME.
I also have an uncle who was a SAHM literally for 20+ years and a male friend who did the same while his wife worked...those were all fine...I never noticed resentments.
None that I can think of. Well, I dated a trust fund baby when I was younger, but I really didn't consider that earning a paycheck.
Wait. What? Sorry I just woke up "yawn"... Having more money is having more money... what difference does it make where it came from?

Did you just close your eyes or something?
