That's where I'm at as the breadwinner, too. It seems like a fairly mature position to hold.

That said, I don't think I could handle being the one making less. As a few here might attest, I've got a fairly intense ego. I might be able to handle it fine, but I've never been put in that position and I could only hazard a guess that I wouldn't take it as well as I ought.
