She Stood Up To Her Husband After He Got Angry At Her For Outearning Him
A 34-year-old woman has been married to her husband for the last decade, and they have two children together.
For the majority of their relationship, her husband has always been the one who made the most money and supported them all financially.
Not too long ago, she completed some additional education in order to move forward in her own career, and because of that, her salary has really gone up.
She and her husband never sat down and had a conversation about how she would be making significantly more money since there wasn’t really a need for them to.
“The way we looked at it was we both were benefitting because it’s going into our household, and it gave us more room to accomplish things,” she explained.
So, her salary never became a problem until she spent time with her husband’s family to celebrate a birthday.
Her husband’s brothers are always making fun of one another, and at the birthday party, they started talking about careers.
One of her husband’s brothers turned around and asked her husband how it feels to no longer be the man of their household, and her husband was puzzled by that.
Her husband’s brother kept taking shots at him though and pressed her husband about how he can “sleep at night” while knowing that she’s the one outearning him now.

While it seemed that her husband let this all roll off his back, when the birthday party was over, the truth came out.
“He goes on a tirade about how it’s a man’s job to take care of home financially and that I’m basically taking that away,” she said.
“I admit I was petty in my response and told him that I could keep my money in the bank, and he can pay all the bills if that makes him feel better.”
Her husband absolutely lost it on her as he accused her of not caring about how he feels. Since then, he has not been speaking to her.
She’s left wondering if she should not have told her husband to get over her making way more money than he does.
Do you think her husband is being too sensitive about this, or do you think she was being insensitive?
