I guess she'll never be the one on the couch or out of the house...:-)
Incidentally, I'm single, but make only 38.5K compared to Heaven knows what for her. I don't call my resultant poor prospect as "being intimidated;" I call it being realistic. :-)
I think you're being realistic, too. ;-) Stress often crops up in a relationship when there is a gross disparity in the experiences and/or income levels of married people. It's not the money that's the issue, it's that the guy who is not a politician, columnist, commentator, and public personality as Ann is, cannot understand her life. They're not going to truly be in touch. It's the same with any two people, really, even if they aren't rich and famous--you do have to be able to understand each other's lives.
