Are you upset about your wife earning more than you?
Guys, if you’re among one of those men who get affected, and in a negative way, about their wives earning more than them, this one’s for you. While who, of the two partners, earns more or less shouldn’t be a roadblock in any relationship anyway, here’s how you can deal with the situation before it gets out of hand.
TALK IT OUT
Couples should discuss among themselves if there’s anything either of the partners. Neither should worry about what their friends think of the situation, it’s the comfort between the couple that really matters.
HELP YOUR PARTNER IN OTHER DOMAIN
Instead of bickering about the situation, feel happy for your wife and try and help her with daily chores to take some extra load off her shoulders. Either partner feeling that they’re taking care of all the work leads to unnecessary turbulence in the relationship.
FOCUS ON THINGS THAT MATTER
Your relationship is more about who earns how much. Try thinking beyond that and make your personal life better, foreseeing any sort of bitterness coming your way because of the salary gap. Also the one earning more should no matter what, not look down upon the other. Practice caution in money-related conversations. Help the other person feel more confident, and share tips, if any, that would do them good at work.
