Is it okay for woman to feed the household? -

Okay the situation is like this: I am wealthier than my boyfriend. I am more educated than him. I can work a job that pays 2-3 times more than him. When we get married, must I quit my job and find some job that pays less than him and let him earn the money and feed the household to keep his man ego? Will all those be enough for the entire family expenses? I am not a big spender though. I don t mind living in a small house. But if I can work, why not? I m not sure though.|::::|This is really the norm now. Men are outperformed regularly by women,in fact, by 2020 most women will marry down. Do your best.|::::|If you are getting married, surely you have discussed this with your husband to be..............what does he say? is it him who has told you his ego will be shot or do you just presume it will be. I think household income is just that household income, not who earns what, unless of course you are rubbing his nose in it and telling him quot;I am more educated than him. I can work a job that pays 2-3 times more than him.quot; then I can understand why his ego may be shattered! Are you marrying someone you love, someone you can feel superior too or someone you can tell, quot; I gave up so much to be with youquot;?|::::|Yes it is alright for a woman to feed the family. I would not quit and earn less because of his ego. If he is not fine with this then he is not the man for you. Marriage is not about money and who makes it. The money made is for the family and if you make more he should be happy for you and proud.|::::|As long as the household is fed, it shouldn t matter who brings it in. This is something you need to discuss BEFORE you get married. His ego obviously didn t stop him from dating someone who makes more, why should it get in the way when your married? Whatever you decide, you both should agree to save hassles in the long run.|::::|LOTS of women work in today s world, and many of them are the primary provider of the house. There is nothing wrong with a woman working outside the house. In fact, where I am from many people would laugh that at that question because here, women are expected to be in the work force for most families.|::::|Sorry, but do you think marriage will work for you?? you are having doubts before marriage??? what is left for after marriage. This will haunt you for ever, in every fight or argument there will be: I am more educated than you / I get paid more / my family is this and that.... think twice before marrying your boyfriend.|::::|Don t be ridiculous. Earn as much as you can for the good of your family.|::::|that s just silly plus you can get a job that pays little at first then get promoted and save the extra money|::::|Honey, this is 2008 ! We don t deal with these issues anymore ! Work, earn and safe ! If he has issues, don t marry him !
