Date: April 25th, 2018 4:48 PM Author: Walnut electric crackhouse water buffalo I'd work less than her but she'd make more. I'd have better benefits, most likely.
On one hand, any $$$ disparity in favor of the woman strikes me as bad for the relationship.
On the other hand, when it's not so dramatic that one person could stop working (e.g. 300K to 50K), it's not as big of a deal. And a side bonus that it won't screw you in divorce. |

Date: April 25th, 2018 4:51 PM Author: Fantasy-prone floppy roommate yarmulke This is basically like the new normal. Jobs are mostly flowing to women because of their soft skills that are in demand.
500K HHI with a 300/200 split isn't a big deal. I agree it would be if you made a fraction of her income. |

She knows I don't make 500K, etc etc |

Date: April 25th, 2018 5:37 PM Author: vermilion wild cruise ship philosopher-king Facing a similar scenario myself, and am a little nervous about it.
Specifically, it's easy to imagine a woman making 300k comparing alpha Finance/Neurosurgeon alphas making 800k to their tiny pink 200k melvin spouses.
Also that dynamic could start to dictate how decisions are made regarding location, expenses, etc in a way you won't like |
|
Date: April 25th, 2018 5:39 PM Author: Walnut electric crackhouse water buffalo what's the breakdown of income?
my hope is that 300-200 isn't so much of a disparity that we still have equality
I don't think it should be a race to see who makes 1 more dollar and then it becomes a tyranny of the majority
60/40% of HHI is not the same as 80/20
I'm also hoping that 500K HHI, which is pretty good, is enough to satiate any demands; there'll always be a couple with 1MM HHI, and so on, but if we have more than enough, I hope it helps |
|
Date: April 25th, 2018 5:44 PM Author: vermilion wild cruise ship philosopher-king Yeah I guess my point was that among women making 300k, I'd bet very few of their husbands are making less than that. So potentially that's the pool of dudes she'd compare you against if her female peers are all married to ballers.
That might be a faggy/insecure way to view things, but it's worth considering. |
|
Date: April 25th, 2018 5:45 PM Author: Walnut electric crackhouse water buffalo I've seen the opposite, friend. Well, OK, plenty of in-house female lawyers where the husband still works at a firm and what not.
But I've seen plenty of women who have husbands in government or something that pays less |

|
Date: April 25th, 2018 5:46 PM Author: aphrodisiac shrine boistinker Unfortunately a lot. It's not even about the disparity. You could be making 320K and it would still cause problems. The prob is she's making so much that you'd need to make a shitload more than her for her to be able to quit without a noticeable decline in QOL (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3959819&forum_id=2#35919739) |
