This is the beginning of the end. She probably doesn't respect you any more. Assuming, of course, that she ever did.

I wish my wife made more than me. I would LOVE to be a stay-at-home dad.

My wife graduates in 2 and a half years. She currently makes $0. I look forward to the day that she starts working, she has the potential to make more than me, and I will throw a party if she comes close

I'll never understand people who are upset if their wife makes more than them, I'll be elated if that's ever the case, because I definitely pull my weight.

I guess I can understand guys feeling insecure if they have some sort of blue collar job, and a wife that makes six figures, but if you're both in white collar jobs making good money, who cares who makes more?

whats funny is that if his OP had been bragging about his wife making more than him, all the posts would be making fun of him

the internet is nothing but antagonists

I wish my wife made more money than me.

But even when I was working an internship and she had a full time job, I made more than she did.

Be proud your wife is making that much money (however much more it is). You sound pretty pathetic complaining about her salary and that she makes more than you. You feel like less of a man now? Kudos to her blowing.. I mean fighting her way up!
