"However, in real life, I've known many, many, many men who say they'd be uncomfortable with a woman who made more money."

Lemme give ya a hint, since you appear to be clueless about this situation: A wealthy successful woman tends to be a hellish controlling harpy when it comes to her hubby; he takes second place to her $$$$, and if he makes even one red cent less than she does, then he is a 'failure' and she has wasted her years with him. And she keeps telling him that again and again and again (when she is not losing it and beating him with a skillet or whatever else is handy, knowing that even a half-hearted attempt at self-defense will land HIM in cuffs).

Read my tag line. Then think about it. Then read it again.

I was a soldier. I saw landmines up close and personal and saw what they did to the foolish men who tried messing with them.

Believe me, I know what I am talking about.

As a soldier, I was married to a woman that had no skills. After our divorce, I found the smartest woman I have ever known.

For the next 10 years, my second wife earned almost twice what I did. For the first time in my life, I had found a woman that I respected, both as a wife, and professionaly.

Eventually, I was able to earn twice what she is paid, but we always had a mutual respect for each other.

20 years later.....

Wow, since my wife makes all the money, when exactly is she going to start resenting me?
