When woman earns more money from her work; her partner worries about the future because most of men consider their main role in the life is earning money and spent it on their families.
So, when the woman earns more money, the man wants to be sure that he shines in his own area and we mean here the bedroom area!
Men say that they want to be the one in an area that no one can compete with him; and they want to make this to satisfy their wife who working hard for them, as a way to appreciate and reward her.
Other men don’t want to earn less money than their wives, for them when women earn more this is threat and may be jealous. They like to be always the controller; they don’t want reversal roles and never want to be displaced. They are afraid that their wives don’t take their approval on each thing they do and to become independent financially and emotionally; for them to be financially controller means that their wives will always be in need to them.
For men, it’s a matter of self image and control. But for women, it’s a kind of success for their selves.
