Why relationship sours when woman earns more than man?

W.r.t the relatioship, I am having my own question " why the Wife demanding money most of the time when she is finding that her husband is working in an World classCompany in Abroad? This is true situation where wife is a housewife( Non working). Does money is only find the love , trustworthy, understanding, mutual respect etc in a married life of Man of good working with his non working( houseWife) wife?

Hi Ravi. My husband is 37 yo. He had a career downfall a couple of years earlier, and now is just able to stay afloat. Compared to others his age, he is earning a meagre 50k a month. My in-laws are very well to do. My brother in law as well is exceptional in his career. This makes me very insecure. When I bring it up to my husband that he should be earning much more, etc, he gets angry and retaliates saying money isn't everything and he has utmost respect at work. All these are hollow words to me being said by someone who is not excelling at work. I would also like to add that I am 31 and also earning 50k. I can understand he had a career downfall, due to which today hes a compromised position. But what pains me is that he doesn't realise how slow and behind he is as compared to others. How can I get over my bitter feelings?

My husband earns more and keeps reminding me that I contribute nothing. Actually, I left my job after our second child was born and have been a full-time mom since. But every time we argue even over small things, he would remind me 'I pay all the bills. What do you even do all day? You scroll through your phone, gossip with friends and just spend all my money. We don't even have a maid. I feel like my unpaid work has no value, and that I'm losing my dignity bit by bit. Is this normal in Indian marriages? I cry sometimes. I don't want to involve my parents. I can't go for a job now because I am 42, and it's been 8 years since I worked anywhere.

Ma'am, All the investments we made were based on mutual discussions. She is co-owner in everything. Even the car she drives was bought by me, and I pay. She believes in a marriage the man should remain responsible in financial aspects and also believes its a new world and the man should lend his hand in household chores too. To answer your question on why I am forced to spend more than my income, its because you invest and plan budgets based on certain threshold but over a period of time the inflation and interest rates will push the expense above the threshold. I think this is what happened in my case. I have also been paying for our kids expenses. I am tired of taking care of literally everything.
