Yes, some women do make more than some men. I have a friend that works and makes good $$$$$$ and her husband is a stay at home Mr. Mom. In a way I envy her because her house stays clean, her yard looks fabulous and her dinner is always cooked and ready for her when she comes home ... and the best part is after she gets through eating ... he does the dishes while she relaxes.
I couldn't just stay at home. I like to keep it clean and cook and all but even if she made $500,000.00 a year, I'd just have to go out there and do something like have a business or being involved in my community.
I have no problem with it what so ever. I wouldn't think of it in the terms as "supporting" as if I were superior to him just because I was the one working. It's all relevant in a relationship....doesn't matter who makes the money, it all goes for the same purpose.....living life as happily as two people can.
Not ALL women make more money than men......especially in the same fields....same education...women still make less...statistically....there are exceptions, but over all....men do make more. JMO....
A)...I don't agree that women make more than men...or we would not have to have employment equity here in Canada and women still are not up to par as far as income is concerned!
and
B)...I don't believe in one supporting the other...BUT supporting each other and both contributing to the relationship...bills etc.!
did it....but I dont think I like the whole idea...mainly because I want my laundry folded a certain way, I like my dishes done a certain way, etc......
Now....I would have no problem with him HELPING but some things are better left for the woman to do..

I heard that some women make more, at least here in the US. I think both should contribute. The thing is if there is a divorce (not to be negative) then the woman has to be aware she will be paying spousal support, especially, in community states.
I've done it once, because I made more money. However, he wouldn't try to find a better paying job, and I realized that I was making all the sacrifices, and he was acting like he was still living with his mom. He did do the laundry, and cleaned house. However, I couldn't even afford the simple things like a hair cut, yet he made sure he had weed everyday. (I don't smoke it) I got pi$$ed. I'm over here looking nappy headed, haven't bought a new outfit in over a year, yet he's high every day!!! WTH??
I would NEVER do it again countinuously. Now, if I were in a relationship and he got laid off, or lost his job through no fault of his own, I would have no problem doing it until he got on his feet. But to do it when he was the one who screwed up, and he's not even trying - HE!! NAW!!
