I'm no shrink, could be a "control" thing and some guys are insecure if they make less than their wives / girlfriends (I always wanted to be a kept man, but that's another story). I believe that once married its not "my" money, it works best if it is our money. My wife and I have been married 30 years, some years she made more, for the most part I made more and am now making much, much more. But she carried the load when we were building our business. Money brings out the good and the bad in people. My advice would be to go slowly and talk out the issue. Trust me, more marriages fail because the partners don't agree financially than for any other reason. Best of Luck.
