Money is a big part of relationships. You can’t get around it. It’s also the number 1 factor in divorces.
If a woman makes more than the man she has to deal with his potential insecurities or him possibly taking advantage of her. That’s reality. There are very few dudes out there secure in themselves to be able to deal with a female making more than them b/c so many are starved for power. Women are proud of males accomplishing shyt. Men don’t even want to hear about female accomplishments b/c they automatically interpret her pride in her own work as arrogance. It’s hard to build with people like that.
Chicks think shyt sweet and that men want a partnership when a lot want a tyranny. And if they don’t have the financial means to get that set up, they will do flagrantly disrespectful shyt to humble her.
Half the chicks in my doctoral program are divorced. Not b/c they were bytches, b/c many were literally bending over backwards to appease their husbands—who threw hissy fits in the form of cheating, some became verbally abusive all kinds of fukkery. I need to make a thread about it one day.
But I digress, navigating male ego with ur own success can be a real pickle as a female and u don’t have to be an arrogant bytch to run into these types. Not saying you’d be aware of this dynamic b/c u don’t date men—but issa thing.

The other side of this is the Mary J. Blidge factor which men will understand more which is the idea of people trying to use u for money which is also a thing.
Being equally yoked is good advice for a reason. That doesn’t always translate to needing everybody to make the same dollar amount and or anything that extreme but you do have to account for finances and personalities and hidden agendas b4 u take the plunge and it can be tricky.
