My wife finally earned more money than me for the first time in 2006. She's a pediatrician, but has always worked part-time since her residency (that was 9 years ago), and still does. It's a good thing that this finally happened, but I wonder whether I should re-examine my income to see if it's all that it could/should be. Anyway, it's all good.
I wonder whether the dynamics in our relationship will change because of this. I should think not, but who knows. May be she'll feel as if she should have more say about how we manage/spend our money (she always have a say, but maybe she'll exercise that option more). May be I'll feel that I should defer to her more than I already do, who knows. I'll report if there's any changes.
