So we're both 23, both in school but she's worked harder than I did and is now finishing up Nursing School to be an RN, and in another 2 years will be a Nurse Practioner and she might go a step further and specialize and be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist projected to make 6 figures.
I myself will be finishing up my Computer Science Degree (bachelor's for now, might do Masters) heck I might even do Computer Engineering if I can take the math.
But she'll be making more than me regardless, the thing is... is that I always pay for us. She's not working right now because it's impossible for her to do it in Nursing School with the amount of studying she has to do. It's a full time job (plus overtime) in it's own.
Once the tables turn, we buy our own house, start our family after a few years of enjoying our careers. Things of course are going to change.
She doesn't mind that I spend on my car, she's very smart when it comes to money and doesn't spend on things she doesn't need to, and saves every dollar she can. Unlike me
The thing is, once these changes happen... she said she wouldn't mind buying toys for me and upgrades for my Camaro. I'm not sure how to feel about this, it isn't some sort of inferiority complex that sets upon me when I think about it, but I feel kind of ... weird? Maybe bad? That she will make more than me... and help ME financially.
I guess in this day and age it's a whole new ball game, the man doesn't have to be the bread winner and supply for the family.
Just not sure how to feel about this. Again, this isn't some sort of inferiority complex kind of issue, I just don't know if it's some of double standard that when a man accepts money from his wife, is he taking advantage of her?
Any thoughts? Opinions?
