I make double what DH makes. However, neither of us cares.....DH does not care about money. He has a good paying job and one that he likes. I have a good paying job and love what I do as well . I could care less what DH makes as long as he likes what he is doing. So I think it is not true that men are intimidated by women who make more than they do. I am sure that there are men who are, but not everyone is like that. In fact, I have a ton of friends who make more than their husbands. I am the breadwinner in our household.

Just a guess.. Women never really want men to earn less than them, it threatens the men (even if they don't admit it) and makes the woman uncomfortable. But not even a LOT more, maybe just $15k more, or the same amount as them makes woman sense... I dunno why. Maybe just in case they get sick, they can cover the bills? Or vice versa? It's nice to know there's a cushion there with your partner.
