SCORPION_SISTA Posted April 7, 2002 hey there wiil waal it's an interesting topic there. I think that the problem exist when the partner that makes more money uses that excuse to get something or put down their partner then u got a big ohh. personally i don't care if my hubby makes more money than me as long as he spends it on me and his relatives and things like charity to the mosque or what not.now if i make more money than him, well there wouldn't me yours and mine there is only ours, and that money is only there to help us enjoy life comfortably. alrite that's it.

ARAWEELO Posted April 8, 2002 I make mo money than my future huby, I guess he is not too happy about that. I do not have a problem if he made more. More money = More vacations Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libaax-Sankataabte Posted April 8, 2002 Wiil-Waal, welcome back from your three day vacation. Bro, the way it looks, my future partner will kill me on that salary thing. This is becuase I am aiming to get with this owner of a HALAAL MEAT STORE. I just hope she doesn't ask me to knock doors and deliver meat to her nomad clients. Things will be very complicated when that happens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motor Cycle Cruiser Posted April 8, 2002 The thought of retirement at an early age will certainly be an option for me, I can be golfing or MC Cruising all day. Seriously speaking, for my situation I certainly wouldn’t mind my spouse making more $$$ as long as she knows who wears the pants in the house lol (I am not kidding about that ladies). The way I see it, it’s more “bacon” or should I say “hilib” for the family. It’s a customary thing in our culture that men are the breadwinners, if the roles are reversed and the man’s contribution is far less than that of his spouse or (significant other), then he may get the sense that he is a less of man especially if he is married to nagging woman who constantly reminds him of it which I am sure will happen at some point of the marriage. lol (I feel some male bashing is coming up) lol ------------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdinuur Posted April 8, 2002 Wiil-Waal, good question. What is your opinion on this subject? My future wifey has to be a doctor in order for her to make more money than I...or somethin' similar... And if she's a doctor, great. If she makes or earns more money than I do, it's definitely aight. Back in the dayz though, men used to feel uncomfortable and insecure when their spouses earn more money than themselves, I think this still exist but most of the times, it's not a big issue. I would be happy to marry a lady who makes/earns more G's than I do...but the question is, where would I find her...?...lol See ya around the NOMAD ZONE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

commonsense Posted April 9, 2002 So a poor girl like me who has a Ph.D in the chicken factory, has no chance. I spent 8 years learning how to rif-rif, kari, sol, dub, shiil and I did my thesis on eating it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
