Folks, I’m married to a great guy. We got married 2 years ago, at that time we were earning similar amount. I got 2 promos and my salary is now in top 0.05% club.
Now I want to live a certain lifestyle which my husband can’t. He earns 60% of what I do. And I know he is working hard, even bootstraped a startup. I see his hard work but it makes me anxious why would I always have to live like this in compromised state?
I even feel guilty sometimes. Is this normal?
on top of all this, I come from wealthy family with 0 family responsibilities. Husband on the other hand has to take care of his parents, buy them decent house , marry off his sister.
I feel that I won’t be able to enjoy life as I should .
any thoughts anyone experiences same??
I feel embarrassed in my circle of friends where we all can afford luxury like 2 euro trip a year, buy luxury house n car.. but I can’t because my husband can’t do all these things at one go.
In our society it’s ok for men to earn more.. but have you faced a situation like this where lady of house earn more than men and feel guilty of her success?
I some times think to divorce him, marry someone better off financially as well. I won’t ever ask money from my husband but futuristically I want to envision a good life per our earning standards not live sub par to it. Any thoughts?
