If you are in a relationship like this, how do you deal with dating? Do you let her pay? Do you feel awkward? Is this something a male ego can handle over the long-term? (sorry to generalize, I know there's many men without the macho ego - but some of those feelings are deeply ingrained via our culture)
I'd be interested in hearing stories from women in this situation as well. My ex resented me over the long term because of this. I'm curious about others' experiences.

My wife is currently the main breadwinner in our family. As I see it, the only downside is that she's working so hard and gets so drained, and I can't help with that. But if things were otherwise, no, I'd have no problem with her making more money than me. Frankly, if she were hella rich, I'd be perfectly happy being kept. There is zero ego involved for me. The way I see it, I repay her by being awesome.
Wait, there might be ego involved for me....
