I met an amazing man a few months ago. He checks all the boxes for me. However there is a significant wage gap. He has never asked anything from me but to be myself and love on him. He is super supportive and I enjoy every second with him. However, I feel pressure from peers that I should find someone at or above my income group. I’m not materialistic and what he makes doesn’t matter to me. He sees, accepts, and loves me for who I am. However, I feel like I’m letting my peers get into my head about the wage gap. That he’s looking for a sugar mama.
I have a friend who is happy as a clam with her unemployed husband. I see some stress from her but it’s not unlike what I feel as a single mom. She is concerned about finances as most ppl are, but it seems like the pros outweigh cons for her with her SO.
The women who have had relationships where you’re likely to be the bread winner, plz give advice. Share your experiences.
The men who have been the the secondary earner, please also share your experiences.
I really care about this guy, and I would love a future with him. I was very anti-anymore kids and anti-marriage for years prior, despite having good relationships. I didn’t want it. I always said it’ll be a cold day in hell if I ever do, but he’s making me feel like hell is freezing over rn. I want to make sure that we are both feeling respected and appreciated in this relationship. Plz give me tips.
