Ours wasn't as big of a swing, and I knew I was never going to make a bunch of money, it's just that today was the exact day it happened. I doubled her salary when we lived in San Francisco. She always has worked harder than me and absolutely deserves what she's achieved.

We would be rich if my wife made more than me. She makes a grand total of $0.00....

She's banging her boss.




i was thinking that, but i'd be a hypocrite making fun of something that's also happening my household.

OP: that's a good thing.

I guess I always knew my wife would make more than me, so it is easy to accept. It's funny when you think about the swing though. I make about $80k more than her now, and in three years it will swing so she makes about $70k more than me. I'm okay with that.



She's in residency isn't she?

It doesn't 'matter' but it did in fact happen today. No big worries. I started the thread a minute after she sent the text. I'm a lucky guy, and the news wasn't unexpected...but it happened. IDK. I'm totally happy for her, us.

I'm sorry dude, but you sound like you are in possession of a vagina. Change the plug, take some aleve, and lay down.

Might want to get used to tucking your boys and wearing a dress.

It's all over now. That little downward look she'll give you when she talks about how much money you are spending, her ability to pick which things are important to have around the house.

Pretty soon it'll be a triple headed, diamon encrusted dragon strapon she'll buy online for "just a little bit of fun". Then there goes your Saturdays. And your anal integrity.

It's awful man.
