Is it normal to feel nervous about financial earning inequality in a serious relationship?
Also, has it ever happened to you, and how did you overcome it?
Idk i slightly worry about it too, unless my partner is wealthy, that be oky :)
financial inequalities can give each side a bigger stake in a relationship.
i mean like my parents, my mom earns a lot more than my dad.
she has a stake in the relationship in that shes using mostly her money to pay for things because my dad literally can't pay for some things. if the relationship were to go she'd have wasted money.
my dad has a stake in that he relies on my mom to pay for a lot of expenses - especially childcare - that he cannot afford to pay. if the relationship were to go he'd be in poverty.
however in a serious relationship, this shouldnt cause much grief. i think someone else already said it, but talk with your partner. without a doubt, it may make you both a bit weary but if your relationship is strong - and im gussing it is - then it shouldnt be a worry!
It depends how large the inequality is. In any case, if it is a serious relationship, talk about it
nothing is better then mooching off your girl friend then break it off right before valentines day but still hittin it on the side a couple months later
