Not at all. We're a team. At the moment that means I'm working to pay the bills and he's working and trying to earn enough to cover his personal expenses and be around to do what's needed for DS.

I earn 3x what my wife does but I see her work as far more valuable to society than what I do. It's strange we pay footballers and MPs a fortune but the people that keep society going are valued much less.

Lol. I earn much less than my spouse - & openly resent him, because he thinks it matters & makes him Billy Big Balls

Seriously? Does he make you feel inferior @QuickHare ? What a twat, you poor thing

Nope. It’s just you. I’m happy for DH to earn half what I do. He’s worked hard his whole life and at 56 I’m glad he’s not in the sort of job that would tear him apart. He loves pottery and gardening and I gain from those things too.
