I've often dreamed about making more money than my partner. I've imagined how life would be and how good I would feel about myself. I never imagined making more money than him would cause a riff between us or cause tension. We can talk a glimpse into the loves of women who are the breadwinner in their relationship. It's surprising to see all the issues it can cause. Now, are these confessions enough to make not earn more? HAHHAHAHA. No way. However, it is interesting to see the issues and resent in each other it brings out in these couples.
