Do You Make More Money Than Him?
Living with a woman breadwinner. Dean Chandler says buck up and do it!
by Dean Chandler
Members of this club don’t need their pants, because they ain’t wearing them anymore. They have handed the “pants” of the relationship over to the head of the household.
But think about it: Why would women wear pants, anyway? They don’t need the pockets. They already have a purse for their wallets, makeup, $20-million movie contracts, and ChapStick.
I’ll tell you why. They wear the pants because the pants have pockets to carry your balls in. You are now wearing the apron. (And it’s not nearly as ?attering as the cowboy shirt, buddy.)
When your woman starts picking up the tab, you have to start doing things you weren’t programmed to do: clean up the apartment, make dinner, ask permission. Sure, you could leave. But what would that get you? It would get you exactly what you had before—that tiny apartment with that tiny TV.
Successful women aren’t going away; they’re multiplying like low-carb beers. So you can wrap yourself in cowboy shirts, wear empty popsicle boxes for shoes, and cry yourself to sleep. Or, you can reach down into those wrinkled boxers and get singed by the hot coals of manhood that are—surprise!—still burning.Put that frostbitten orange tongue back in your mouth, and paradigm-shift your ass into high gear. Hell, man, she’s freed you of the breadwinner’s burden—that’s her job now. She’s got the big brush on the canvas of your partnership; it’s your job to add some depth and detail.

Wow. Sexist much? Haven’t we moved past this sort of thinking, that men should feel threatened by women who are successful in their careers? Publishing this sort of story reinforces gender-role stereotypes, and the end advice still implies that a man needs to have cojones to handle a successful woman. Ugh.

I am a widow who was left after 27 years of marrige and along illness ..comfortably well off. I have other women friends who are either widowed or seperated that are in the same situation.
I have always worked part time and lucky me when I want doing what I want whith whom I want.
I have found that when I started dating that this information was something to keep to my self as along as I could .
I Work from home..when i work .But eventuly the clues come out.and evan if a man is finacely doing well above the avergae I have found that it does become a turn off.
If they feel there Biz is’nt doing well suddenly I can tell they are suddenly incomfortable.
I have been with men that like the fact that I am finacialy secure alittle to much some …younger men who really don’t care.
But it is definetly a problem.
I am a women with a strong sence of self and always have been no matter what and I think if a man does too it should not be such an issue.
BUT IT IS .
