If you earn ALOT more than your dh, does this affect how you feel about him?

[Whatdoyouthinktothis]

Just been listening to Scott Galloway

I've never looked down on gh, I have earned more than him, but only by say 20 percent so I wouldn't say that's a huge difference
Yet I had much higher prospects, but it didn't put me off him
Dh now earns much more than anyone would have expected when he was young

According to Scott if a woman earns more than a man he's three times more likely to have erectile dysfunction
Likelihood of divorce doubles

Yes I’m not great at spelling, but it’s never held me back and is infact one of the reasons I became such a good public speaker, something a lot shy away from

Ah. As I said he appears to be full of shit. I would prob scroll on next time you see him pop up.

@Confuserr I disagree I think the OP has started an interesting thread.

Yes that is also wrong for me, when we were younger my husband out earned me significantly, my career took off, I now earn more than double what he does, he is a high earner in his own right though.

it makes no difference to us, we pay proportionally into the joint account, make sure we have the same disposable income as we always did, even though it’s seperate we view it as our money,

he is always very complimentary and proud of me. I’m sure it would impact some relationships. If you’re married to some misogynistic insecure loser. But if you’re married to a good and I guess successful man, then no, it doesn’t impact the relationship.

What an interesting statistic.

Did Scott Galloway quote the source? Do doctors in the US routinely ask men how much their wife earns, when they seek medical help for errectile dysfunction?

Or maybe it’s financial advisors, can they sell viagra alongside pension plans?

Are men in the US more comfortable opening up about their ed issues than their European counterparts? Was this data collected from across the US, or just particular states?

I’ve just so many questions about this entirely credible and convincing statistic.

I massively out earn my partner, but he used to earn far more than me. Swings and roundabouts. It may change again in a few years. Everything goes into one account, and we spend what we need.

What goes through my mind reading this, is, even i situations where the lower earning partner is on the minimum wage, you have several household incomes that are probably way above £100k, some could easily be £250k or more. Then you have, in some cases, pre relationship housing equity, possibly saved childcare costs where one partner has stayed at home, possible multiple inheritances. I realise factoring in children changes a lot, but my God some single people, especially those from working class, no or low inheritance backgrounds, or those who have had to financially assist their own parents, are comparatively uo against it!
