Would it be okay if a woman is more successful than her husband.

I've noticed that there are some men that do not want their wife to be richer than them and this doesn't mean anything to me. As a woman, you should always respect your husband. Whether you're rich or not. So it depends on their understanding

This shouldn't be ask in the first place. I mean, we have different perspective towards th eword success. As for me, it doesn't really matter.

In everything there should be balance. It's up to the couple to talk things through no matter who earns more so as not to sacrifice the relationship or the family.

why is this even a question in first place???? it should have been okay, it should have been normal from long time

For me it is okay. The only time a man is intimidated by his wife's success is when he is lazy , full of pretensions or when he is too competitive that he only believes women are only limited to child bearing and laundries. Men and women complement each other not compete with each other.

They say " you cannot have it all" career and love life.. you can be successfull in your choses career but expect not in love . Maybe it is because of "time". I have a female officemate who had a good position and lets say had good earnings compare to her husband. Sometimes I could hear her saying bad things to him while talking on the phone. So that made me think " is this the career" can do in a relationship?

For me it doesn't matter because marriage is both side of the party, if the wife can provide then no problem... But some men are not comfortable with such because they'd feel like they are being controlled lol...

I feel the problem is balance, there has to be balance in everything and she failed to do that. The husband that married the maid cheated and that wasn't fair on her, she was probably trying to do the best thing for them.

I'll say this with confidence, the man will still cheat again at the slightest inconvenience, I feel there are other approaches to that than impregnating the maid.

Mostly here in our place, womens have work than men , if I were the most successful one than my husband, I know he would be happy because he send me to school because he wanted me to be successful..

Maybe everyone's views are different, but today's era has replaced the perspective of some people that between men and women have stood on equal footing and in my opinion that is also true because many circumstances and positions of men are replaced by women in leadership, organizations, etc. But perhaps the problem is that the man is the head of the household who is always prioritized and becomes the backbone of the family.

Honestly speaking more success more earning by your wife does not mean there will definitely be more problems. But, it is allabout how we handle things in life. Some people do not value other things in their life other than material success while some always value their family over everything else. there are many richer people who makes time for their family despite being busy enough in their profession. But again i would say it all depends on people's emotional intelligence.

I believe in a home where true love and God exists, there would be no issues with one partner earning more than the other since resources would be put together.

I am the one who has a regular job and works hard for our family. My husband doesn't have a regular job, I think it doesn't matter who has more money or has a nice job .I earn more money than him and I know he understand that I have to work more since we still have a baby to feed an a teenager to support.It's a matter of loyalty and understanding.

Surely, both sides have difficulty of which decision would suits. Yes the woman seems to have 5x or more monthly salary than other. If I were the husband I should not tell her cause that amount is a big help for there expenses. But she has to sacrifice her time and neglected their family. In that case they can spend time for leisure time. Of course there's still time for her to have at least one day off from work or even they can spent time on a vacation especially holidays or non-working days.

Being successful comes with a lot of responsibilities. The responsibility that came with the position the lady was given, was one that came at the cost of her marriage. There was no way she could combine both and had to sacrifice one in the long run. From this story of yours, I can say that he's a good lady. She fumbled it by bringing in a maid that's old enough to give birth to a child. Nowadays, some ladies especially them feminists act like they've made it and would definitely not respect their husband because they believe they have it more.

I understand why many guys would not want to be in that position because things get easily into the heads of women but we have guys too who are terrible at that. I think it's all about the kind of person. Money has the capacity to change anyone. Humility is key in everything. Know your worth and don't give discount..a lot of people are defined by the amount of money they have. As for me, I'm never bothered...as long as I am.making impact where I am.

There's nothing bad if my wife is more successful than I am inasmuch as she knows her role and never misuses her chances, it's fine by me. I will say the lady was truly busy but guilty, she should have created time for her husband no matter how. The man told is at fault to some extent cos his patience might not be enough.

The man was wrong, but just like you said; I also don't know what the man endured before he remarried.

Strictly my opinion, a woman can be more successful than her husband, but she and her hubby need to have a mature understanding on the whole issue, either ways; the man is the head of the family. Whatever job the woman finds herself doing, she should be able to spare out time for her kids and family. So the woman is wrong in that aspect
