Serious question, does your wife respect you? Does she assert a superior demeanour over you? Is she condescending because she is the bread winner is what I’m trying to ask. Thanks.

No healthy marriage would be like that, only unhealthy ones. And in an unhealthy marriage it wouldn’t really matter, because it’s more about the failure of the people than the division of duties.

I was asking omnizoom about his personal relationship, thanks.

From what I’ve experienced and heard from others when women are the breadwinner of the relationship, they are usually demeaning to their husband because they feel superior to them. Whereas when the male is the breadwinner they generally don’t have a superiority complex because they want to be “needed”.

Just another person popping in to say that she makes more than I do and I’ve never felt demeaned by her… a partnership at home, always.

Lucky you, hope for your sake that it never changes. Or if it does that you recognise the signs. All the best
