Why would you be ashamed?
Get off your high horse and be supportive of her

Marriage is a partnership, not a competition. I make more than my husband, but it doesn't bother him one bit. He does very valuable things around the house. He fixes things that we'd have to pay somebody else to fix. He chops firewood so we don't have to pay so much for heating. When you factor in all the ways he saves us $, he makes way more than me. If it's bothering your self esteem, find ways to save $ in the household. If your doing your share of the work around the house, then you're being a good partner.

it depends on what you are doing about it.. are you okay with it.. cos if not you can do something about it.. you can take on another course that will get you a good job with a good pay, you could get a second job or you could just relaxe and be happy that you have a woman that loves you for who you are and not wot you bring to the table.

No you shouldn't be ashamed you work at the job you like and if one earns more so what I earn more than my husband at the moment he dosn't mind


pinniethewooh
no, you are a partnership. I make more money than my husband, but we both contribute to the marriage and to the finances. No reason for shame.


Gerry
Ashamed for what? At least you are working!


chief_eagle_wing
Only if you don't work.

Because?????

This isn't 1950 sugar...if it bothers you that she makes more money, then get yourself a higher paying, or second job.

if it doesnt bother ur wife, why should it bother u. but if it bother u that much, go take night courses and find a better job. Never be ashame of urself for that reason.. as long as ur a great husband and person.. ur alright

A REAL man would be proud.

Appreciate it...most guys should be so lucky.

The only thing you should be ashamed of is the fact that you wasted your time asking this moronic question.


msthinkpositive
Do you have a good reason as to why you should be ashamed? As long as she taking care of business at home with what she makes, what else do you expect from her in the relationship. If she wasn't helping with bills and your expenditures, then you should have a problem. Having been in a 31 yr. marriage where I always made the money for the family for majority of those years, then I can tell you that if she's doing right by you & the marriage, don't rock the boat.


presleygirl
no, as long as you work for a living, and your job is honorable, [any contributing member of society] even trash collecting, and not sit home doing nothing.

BE appreciative. Support her. Be thankful. Nursing is a good, honest, tough profession. I know. I'm a nurse. We make good money but we work long, hard hours. Never be ashamed. Aren't you two in this together?


kennethkken
definitely not! you probably do more that her in other areas


richard c
hell no!! but yu should take care of your sugar lady!!! rub her feet, get her chocolates, and enjoy!!!it takes some of the stress off of yu! enjoy the moment!

Certainly not. You should be proud to be married to a woman who works in a profession that pays as well as hers does. Remeber, she had to go to school for quite some time to qualify to make the kind of money she makes. All the more reason to
appreciate her.

If you are sincerely asking this question, the answer is no. We are no longer in a time where the man needs to be the primary bread winner. It should not matter who makes more or less as long as you are able to financially satisfy your obligations as a married couple. Be proud of her, not ashamed!

Greg, nowadays some women do make more then men, but there shouldn't be any shame about your wife making more. She is in a profession that does pay good money. I'm sure you help around the house and with the kids so you make up for it by being useful. Never allow someone make you feel that you should be making more, if it does become a problem with you and her both then it would be a problem.

No, you should not be ashamed. It is what it is. If she is OK with it, then you should be too.

Marriage is a joint Corporation that you both contribute to, equally and unequally..

ashamed of what?


kiefergal24
no you definately shouldnt
you should be proud of her for doing so well
it doesnt mean that she is better than you or has more power than you
it just means that she works hard as a nurse and is receiving some of the benefits


***Girlie Girl***
You should only be ashamed if she is also pimping you out and ***** slapping you..
