In this day and age, I don't think the income thing matters much. So long as they're happy with the financial arrangement, it's none of my business.
But a loser would be someone incapable of adapting to the demands of a relationship. Can't support her emotionally or teach the kids the right way to live. The rest of it is up to whatever she finds important in her life partner.
But I have a son so this isn't really going to concern me.
I thank you for your contribution but where did i get this idea that income should be equal ? From here . Whenever there is advice threads for men they should seek a woman with equal earning potential but girls we shouldnt judge a man for his income .No idea what you're babbling about. As far as I know you are not married and have zero kids.
I, on the other hand, am married with two kids, own my own home, my own cottage, my own vehicles, etc. and was raised to look after myself so that I am free to do and date or marry whoever the fuck I want, with the pretend merits created by society being a fart in the wind. While you are concerned about "earning capability" and "evening out finances" I will be teaching my children that the only end game to life is their own happiness, from the cradle to the grave. If one of my kids turned down the love of their life simply because they don't earn as much pretend money as they do or are under crippling debt I would consider myself a failure. I teach my kids to play the game, but to understand the game is not the point of life.
Double standard .
