Re: Do men feel threatened if their wives make more?
if that isnt rude, I dunno what is !
Anyway to answer your question Reha
I can give an example right in my family. My mum’s been a working woman all her life and not just random jobs but MA a highly qualified telecom engineer. There have been times when mum was earning more than my dad since she was in a private multinational company while dad worked in a Govt owned hospitals and due to his ailing health couldn’t keep up with private practice. She’s known as the most patient, loving and friendly person amongst all our family and by our family I mean her in laws
MA MA. And my dad has supported her all through thick and thin and there isnt a question of my income or your income. It’s all joint. Our income. That’s the way it has always been in our home Alhamdullilah and MashaAllah.
But it can make men insecure if their wives earn more than them esp in Pakistan. So that too is not uncommon.
