Many women are earning more money than their spouses. The situation is in reverse of what it was just 20 years earlier. Some men feel threatened by their wives’ higher-earning. However, in the beginning, it may be a good selling point.
But soon, women may have a problem coming to terms with being the breadwinner. As a breadwinner, women have more responsibilities at work, home, less flexibility, longer hours, and less options to leave a job or go part time. They are "boxed in."
While women may need the feeling that they can rely on their spouses' support of, physical, emotional, and financial aspects, in this case financial support is lacking.
A male breadwinner expects much support from his wife, but on the reverse this may be an issue of resentment, where the wife's money is supporting the family, the house, the kids, and every thing else.
It is a new era, but some women may stop and think what am I getting out of this guy?
Just a thought.
