Should she give more if she makes more?
Women are more empowered nowadays than they were 50 years ago, and with that empowerment, some are earning at the top of the salary scale.
This can pose a problem in intimate relationships as some men will feel belittled when they have to compete with their women. We asked the men their take on this.
Marlon:
My ex was a managing director for a big employer and that was the main reason we didn’t work out because she thought she could control me because she was independent and making more money than I was. I have no issues with a woman working for her own, but pushing it in a man’s face is not right.
Jason:
I have a big problem with these career women because they think they can tell a man how to run his show. I was dealing with a young lady who literally threw me out of her car because we were arguing and she thought I should not say anything and let her talk. That taught me a nice lesson to just leave those types alone.
Jermaine:
There is nothing wrong if a woman brings bread to the table as long as she doesn’t use it to slap the man in his face. I think a lot of women think the men are jealous of their money, but the man wants you to respect him. Without respect, the man is simply going to lose interest.
Ryan:
I have no issues with a woman and her money as long as she shares it. I think these women are unfair because if a man makes more, she wants more, but if she makes more, she still wants the man’s money. I think women need to share too. Relationships are about balance, right? Worse if she’s controlling, she should pay me to stick around and take all her temper tantrums.
Chris:
For me, once you start acting like you want to dictate what I do and where I go, I am on my way through the door of that relationship. Respect and love are what I need no matter how much you earn.
