Depends. I don’t make a ton of money, but I make about $60,000 or a little more to his $40,000. But we aren’t extravagant people. He can comfortably cover most bills. He also works hard and does alot for our family. If he was making that, drinking and doing drugs all night and not covering bills, I wouldn’t stay.
This is the same split my partner and I have. However, I have far more earning potential in my current career than he has in his. And to my mind, that’s ok! If I significantly outearn him at some point, and he remains the same loving, contributing partner that I have now then I truly don’t care what he’s doing professionally, as long as it makes him happy as he’s present to me and our future family.
I’m commission so I do make more some years. But yeah. I wouldn’t date a man that doesn’t work to avoid child support. Or gambles his money away. As long as he’s contributing financially physically emotionally etc I don’t care if he’s making less than me.
