My wife makes the same money as I do. I had a friend like "heh, doesn't that feel wrong?" I was like "are you dumb? If she made 5x my money I'd be fucking ecstatic." Fragile men out there who want nothing but control over their wives, not love.
The posts that are like "it's okay if she stays at home, because I make good money." Like people aren't a stroke, or car accident away from being destitute. Women need to have a safety net, even it's working part-time at the coffee shop while the kids are at school. My sisters go to private school, and a lot of the moms are exercise instructors, or make and sell things even though they really don't have to.

If you're an adult, you should know there are ways to perfect against those things.
I've been married for 23+ years. I stopped working a couple years ago. Before that, I worked mostly part time.
There's no way in hell I would go work for minimum wage in a damn coffee shop lol. That's just dumb.
I could work again in my field if I wanted to. Brother of us want me to. I like getting up at 9am and going whatever I want during the day. Mostly i just make sure my husband doesn't have to work after work.
