Thought this was about him being insecure about her making more. After hearing the story, her impulse spending and bad money management is the problem. Him being away in the military doesn’t help. She needs adult supervision.
He is most likely better equipped to be disciplined with money, even if he isn’t he has massive amounts of resources within the military to help with money. It’s not about him joining her team or vice versa. It’s about starting a NEW TEAM together.
It's easy to be "accountable" now that you have enough money to cover your habits. She needs to realize that, from his perspective, that's not accountability. That's fortunate circumstances compensating for a lack of situational awareness. Heather, you are living in different spheres of existence. Time is not progressing at the same rate for you and your husband. Before you talk about "getting him on board" now that you're in such a good position, you need to learn to communicate on his frequency. While he's down range, you've been pursuing your goals, making decisions for you, doing what feels right to you, and not really caring about the repercussions because he's not there a lot. But you've been doing that without enough consideration of the stress and burden he carries just trying to meet you half way in life. Now you've made this huge jump. And if your tone on the phone is any indication of your tone with your husband, there is a, perhaps unintentional, condescending nature that accompanies your newfound success. If you can't address recognize and resolve that within yourself, you're marriage is going to turn toxic. Even if you can't get into couples therapy right away, I recommend going therapy and conveying to your husband that while you would love to go to counseling together, you're at least going to seek counseling to address your own issues in order to be a better wife and partner to him.
I got guilt-tripped when i was younger but then I really thought about it...it's really annoying when girls use that phrase and most of them have no idea what it means to actually be a man.

My wife makes more money than me and im not jealous. We're a team, and on the same page so it doesn't matter. When she does well, we do well, and vice-versa.
Sounds like she spends to much $ and wants his income to shovel out of the mess she made. Making $100k a year is nothing if your boat has a giant hole in it taking on more water.
Before they combine their money, she needs to demonstrate that she’s financially responsible by paying off her debt and saving for at least a year. Then he would probably trust her. This is a trust issue.

I don't see why Dave doesn't suggest that. It's clear he doesn't want her debt. If her income is so spectacular and his is so little, she could pay her own debt off. Doesn't seem like he's doing bad for someone half their income of their spouse. Interesting how she's the one throwing a fuss.

Keeping things entirely separate on his part is just as bad in my opinion as her being wasteful when they are both married.

I can relate. My fiancé comes from a wealthy family. She is bringing no debt, 30k in savings, and two real estate properties while I’m only bringing a job and 55k in debt. It is hard to get her on board to living on rice and beans when she doesn’t have the issues herself and doesn’t understand. We are not combining finances until we’re married but it’s still difficult now.
That man has seen more than Dave can ever imagine and you're telling HIM to "Man up". You need to be more respectful especially only hearing one side of the story! 💡
Hypergamy goes into full overdrive when situations like this come up unfortunately. Chances of divorce rise exponentially if she makes more and he has less. IIWII
The title of this video is misleading. Dave's religious beliefs are preventing him from stating the obvious: the husband would have to be nuts to allow her access to his money.
If they can’t get on the same page long term there marriage will drift apart I’ve been married for 25 years and my wife has not worked in 18 of them, it’s not my money it’s Our money
It blows my mind that they have no clue about the others finances. So many people get married without crucial conversations and the marriage ends because of it.
I'll never understand the insecurity that comes with your wife making more money. I can't wait for my wife to make more money for our family. If anything were to happen to me I can take pride in knowing she can support our family.
The way I see it, this woman can lose her job tomorrow and be forced to find a job making LESS. Nothing is permanent. Great, she makes more money than her hubby, but sometimes life gives you lemons, so no need to get cocky about it. Military personnel has a fixed income until they are promoted. Btw, "just infantry" means he signed a blank check that only costs him his LIFE. Thank you for your service, sir.
While it's nice to believe in the sanctity of marriage, this lady needs to pay off her own debt with her big new raise. Women are really sweet to you when they want you to pay off THEIR student debt.
Wow I’m the first one here! Be proud of your accomplishments. My husband makes more than me but I’m sure if the situation was reversed, he would be super happy.
People act like it's the men that have a problem with women earning more, but I've never once heard a man complain about it. In my experience, the woman usually gets a big ego that causes relational problems which she then blames on mens' insecurity. "It's not that I have a problem! Men are just too intimidated by how great I am!" Trust me, men want to date intelligent and successful women. THAT is not the reason they are avoiding you 😂.
Dave doesn't understand us in the military, we was taught about keeping finances separate along with prenuptial. Yes we pay the regular house bills/food/car payments together. But the savings..thats yours. So if you blow your money on stupid things before you get paid again, so be it..at least the bills are paid and you're up the creek without a paddle. Over and over again by our leadership they preached us this. Its not about religion or no trust, its a protective shield for yourself, for you won't be left out to dry if things go down hill.
It was odd to me that she wanted to combine finances so her husband could make her accountable. I’m going to guess he doesn’t want to babysit her with her money and be the enforcer. She needs to step up and take responsibility and so she can be an adult.
Didn't take but a little digging to figure out she is the problem. Honestly as a retired member of the military myself I think best way to approach this is in terms of a mission and mission planning. Dave has a point if each month is a small mission with the goal of winning the war all the cards are on the table. That means he can see every penny she spends which sound like where his trust issues are. If having physically separated bank accounts makes him feel better that's fine but when you sit down every month to do the budget the banks statements are laid out on the table.
But it does matter. A woman doesn’t have a strong enough desire intimacy to justify providing for a man. The male $ex drive is thousands of times more powerful and thus men will tolerate anything to be with a woman.
@@ClaxtonBay123 "Stop talking Bullsht." Isn't that what your mother said to you? Induction motor is correct. Women tend to marry men that make more money than they do for that very reason. This is a fact.
@@tallswede80 You know what’s an actual fact? Here in Australia, a landmark 10 year study revealed that where women earn more in the relationship, 35% can expect to be physically assaulted by their male partner JUST for earning more. Many men have a dangerously warped perception about what a woman’s role should be. Your anecdotal nonsense doesn’t stack up to the rigours of actual, verifiable research.
This is easy, if you husband wants everything to remain separate, that’s ok, you just made more money, use your money to clear your debt. And save some for that day when your husband might need your help.. don’t rub it on his face about making more money than him. On his next birthday, surprise him by paying off one of his debts. Love is a thing of the heart, show him more love than he expects.
As someone else said, she’s not making better money decisions now vs a year ago. She just has more money now to cover her bad decisions. Her question is really about how to avoid paying her own debts. Before her raise, she had an excuse for not paying her debts. And she could ignore them and keep her big spending habits. Now that she makes good money she doesn’t have an excuse, so she wants to combine finances so she can use her husband’s money to pay the debts. And she could keep spending big.
It's not your money. It's not his money. It should be "our" money. Trust issues can be hard to get past, but I hope these two can work it out. Put everything in writing that might make things easier.
She has a million dollars & still owes $92,000? I wonder about these people’s brains. It just common sense. I’d like to hear his side, she’s probably horrible with money.
While I was on a combat Deployment my income was more than my Nurse Practitioner wife,I was so proud of that. When I returned and got out the Marines,I had a 40k annual paying job and was going to college full time. My ego was bruised but she reassured me how proud she was of my service and that I’m continuing my education/working. Every man needs that type of support
Dave: what's your husband do for a living? Caller: he's military Dave: um, OK, what does he do? Caller: he's in the army - I guess he does army stuff? Trying not to judge here but she doesn't care enough to know what her husband does which kind of makes sense how she was convinced to not know what her husband is doing financially. She probably doesn't care to know about her husband's other wife and kids too.
I think Dave was trying to get an idea of the husbands personality traits - special forces vs army nurse vs supply chain probably have some different personality traits.
That's not entirely true. Certain jobs are eligible for additional pay outside of normal bonuses, jump pay, special duty pay, hazard pay, variable special pay, incentive pay. Just to name a few.
I think its natural for men to feel insecure about making less because men just want to feel they're providing for the family. The society shouldn't be so rough on men for that.
So, he doesn't want to pay her debt because it would be enabling her shopping habits. She's gotta take responsibility for her debt or else her spending habits won't change.
This is social media, and the world is watching. If you have personal financial problems go straight to the point don't drag your spouse into it to feel good about yourself. I hate when spouses come online to spread their dirty laundry for the world to see. Let's not forget, it's always one sided situation because we didn't get to hear from the other half. That's my opinion. Spousal issue should be private. So together seek private counselling not coming to social media to make yourself feel good. Imagine the man getting a wind of this made by his wife, he's military, and uniform men don't joke with their pride. No one is perfect, at least protect his pride. What she said today is a recipe for catastrophe.
My sister had the same problem. Their marriage suffered. When she changed careers to lower pay, her marriage suddenly improved. He could not handle that she was primary bread winner.
Red flags 🚩 on her end. *She* has a problem that her husband doesn’t want to help pay her own debt despite the fact that she makes more money and ran up the debt herself. Always read between the lines when someone calls and immediately puts the blame on the other person who doesn’t have a chance to make their case on the show as well. Also, once again Dave is soft on women who make bad financial decisions, and harsh on men who do same, or he tells those women’s husbands to “man up!”. Smh.
If you’re this guy RUN 🏃♂️ Dave gives awful advice when it comes to relationship he takes the woman side 90% of the time and he comes off out of touch using that Christianity bull crap ideology on women who aren’t that. Hearing just how she speaks of the man tells you she doesn’t respect him as a man. Key things she used “I can dig myself out the debt” “ I make double what he makes” “ I make 6 figures” off that it tells you her man likely makes 40-60k the average income and she tears him down for that. I promise you like stats read this marriage ends in her cheating and than playing the I felt a disconnect and my coworker who makes 150k was there for me. Men don’t consume the feminist bull crap because the women who preach it don’t believe it. She underplayed her faults the entire time she doesn’t want to be held accountable I promise you if a big purchase is coming and he wants to go expensive or cheaper she will say i got the money you don’t she will constantly takes shot at his wallet
There's an old Candid Camera clip that dealt with this. The husband was going to divorce wife cuz she made too much money. The lawyer who got pranked with dealing with the papers cried, "If my wife made more than me, I would stay with her forevvverrrr."
I see another problem. Dave:What does your husband do? Caller: Hes in the military. Dave: But what does he do? Caller: He’s active duty in the Army. Me: BUT WHAT DOES HE DO? IS HE A MECHANIC, POLICE, COOK, WHAT DOES HE DO? She can’t answer that, she clearly doesn’t care. To me, it almost sounds like she wants to brag about her income, blame the husband for not being happy, and just...ugh. Lack of communication apparently on both sides.
I've got some different advice - husband should walk away from this marriage. And if he is genuinely special forces I would be surprised if he is making $50k a year - probably a lot more.
I never had resentment. Our rewards for service aren't entirely pay but they're real too, like money but morally more valuable. Ten or a dozen of the guys I flew with didn't survive but Ruth didn't seem affected by the risk. Maybe she hoped I'd plant one, but I always brought the airplane home, even from the carrier. Michael, USMC retired, Naval Aviator
That is how it should be especially when the woman starts to make more money. Taking into account that she is a big spender and her history it's better that they keep their finances seperate. If I am responsible in the marriage for covering certain bills as the husband, I will continue to cover my responsibilities no matter if my wife makes ten times more. I will continue the same standard of living. What she does with the extra money is her choice. The problem normally comes in when he starts to become dependent on her money. So I salute this guy. Nothing wrong with being independent and wanting to be responsible and feel valued in the marriage. Many marriages are ended especially by women who feel that the husband is not pulling his weight. I would have done the same if I was in his situation considering her history of spending. Keep your finances seperate and continue to fullfil your responsibilities as agreed upon.
He is military. She wants him to find her accountable. He doesn't want to babysit. Therr is a budget -follow it. Sounds like she has a pattern of not doing it. No one wants to raise another child. He has checked out. He doesn't need more stress. Wrong or right.
This is what happens with a lot of people who make a lot of money. You make a lot, you spend a lot. When i get a salary increase I immediately go to my brokerage account and increase my automation strategy. It's the best thing for most people. Don't upgrade your lifestyle!!
Mr Dave needs to stop telling this guy to man up. He doesn't know the full story. He just immediately made an uninformed judgement call. Fully disappointed in his advice, but kudos on the gift.
I bet it would give this guy SO much peace if she just quit working, it seems like her job adds more stress to their life, she had a goal of making six figures and she achieved it, but at what cost, her kids and marriage?
Moral of the story : Woman Up and stop actin all “new” because you doubled your income. Take responsibility for your wasteful spending pathology and stop projecting your insecurities on your husband’s masculinity
Thought this was about him being insecure about her making more. After hearing the story, her impulse spending and bad money management is the problem. Him being away in the military doesn’t help. She needs adult supervision.

We are not combining finances until we’re married but it’s still difficult now.
She stopped only recently. A year ago. I think she could start by showing that she’s responsible for the next year
That man has seen more than Dave can ever imagine and you're telling HIM to "Man up". You need to be more respectful especially only hearing one side of the story! 💡
Lets hear from him before judging
I'm starting not to beilieve in most of Dave's titles for these videos.
Having a hard time with it only because you keep reminding him...
Exactly, she sounds incredibly arrogant.
Hypergamy goes into full overdrive when situations like this come up unfortunately. Chances of divorce rise exponentially if she makes more and he has less. IIWII
Id hate to know I banged a spec opts wife...
The title of this video is misleading. Dave's religious beliefs are preventing him from stating the obvious: the husband would have to be nuts to allow her access to his money.
If they can’t get on the same page long term there marriage will drift apart I’ve been married for 25 years and my wife has not worked in 18 of them, it’s not my money it’s Our money

It blows my mind that they have no clue about the others finances. So many people get married without crucial conversations and the marriage ends because of it.

I'll never understand the insecurity that comes with your wife making more money. I can't wait for my wife to make more money for our family. If anything were to happen to me I can take pride in knowing she can support our family.

How about if she out earns you? Is the feeling the same? Is the marriage the same at that point?
Seriously. I hope she makes so much I can quit!

The way I see it, this woman can lose her job tomorrow and be forced to find a job making LESS. Nothing is permanent. Great, she makes more money than her hubby, but sometimes life gives you lemons, so no need to get cocky about it. Military personnel has a fixed income until they are promoted. Btw, "just infantry" means he signed a blank check that only costs him his LIFE. Thank you for your service, sir.
While it's nice to believe in the sanctity of marriage, this lady needs to pay off her own debt with her big new raise. Women are really sweet to you when they want you to pay off THEIR student debt.
Kind of like a mouse behaving to be let out of a mouse trap.

At different times in our marriage we have both made more money than the other. We always just pool our money together and that has worked for 36 yrs.
People act like it's the men that have a problem with women earning more, but I've never once heard a man complain about it.
In my experience, the woman usually gets a big ego that causes relational problems which she then blames on mens' insecurity.
"It's not that I have a problem! Men are just too intimidated by how great I am!"
Trust me, men want to date intelligent and successful women. THAT is not the reason they are avoiding you 😂.
Dave doesn't understand us in the military, we was taught about keeping finances separate along with prenuptial. Yes we pay the regular house bills/food/car payments together. But the savings..thats yours. So if you blow your money on stupid things before you get paid again, so be it..at least the bills are paid and you're up the creek without a paddle. Over and over again by our leadership they preached us this. Its not about religion or no trust, its a protective shield for yourself, for you won't be left out to dry if things go down hill.
She should just keep the money separate and quiet. Pay off debts then save in to a pension by direct debits. He doesn't need the unnecessary stress.
It was odd to me that she wanted to combine finances so her husband could make her accountable. I’m going to guess he doesn’t want to babysit her with her money and be the enforcer. She needs to step up and take responsibility and so she can be an adult.
Never ever the women’s fault, always the mans fault with Dave. “Not manning up, throwing wife in ditch.” Very absurd and far reaching comments Dave.
The way that she talks is the biggest red flag
You can tell she's let go of taking care of herself. When one focuses on someone else, they lose touch with their own quality of life.
Didn't take but a little digging to figure out she is the problem. Honestly as a retired member of the military myself I think best way to approach this is in terms of a mission and mission planning. Dave has a point if each month is a small mission with the goal of winning the war all the cards are on the table. That means he can see every penny she spends which sound like where his trust issues are. If having physically separated bank accounts makes him feel better that's fine but when you sit down every month to do the budget the banks statements are laid out on the table.
She controls everything that's what make him powerless as a man.
Did she say $200 tooth paste? 🤔🤦🏽♂️
Does she have dentures?
She goes for toothpaste and then spends $200 on other things.
@@anniealexander9616 that makes more sense lol
If you both love each other, it really shouldn't matter if any one person make more money.
But it does matter. A woman doesn’t have a strong enough desire intimacy to justify providing for a man. The male $ex drive is thousands of times more powerful and thus men will tolerate anything to be with a woman.

"Stop talking Bullsht."
Isn't that what your mother said to you?
Induction motor is correct. Women tend to marry men that make more money than they do for that very reason. This is a fact.
@@tallswede80 You know what’s an actual fact? Here in Australia, a landmark 10 year study revealed that where women earn more in the relationship, 35% can expect to be physically assaulted by their male partner JUST for earning more. Many men have a dangerously warped perception about what a woman’s role should be. Your anecdotal nonsense doesn’t stack up to the rigours of actual, verifiable research.
This is why you combine $ from the very beginning. Then you don’t have to have arguments or resentments.
This is easy, if you husband wants everything to remain separate, that’s ok, you just made more money, use your money to clear your debt. And save some for that day when your husband might need your help.. don’t rub it on his face about making more money than him. On his next birthday, surprise him by paying off one of his debts. Love is a thing of the heart, show him more love than he expects.
Wife:“We need to talk... I feel like you have a problem with my income being more than yours”
Husband: google divorce attorney in my area
As someone else said, she’s not making better money decisions now vs a year ago. She just has more money now to cover her bad decisions.
Her question is really about how to avoid paying her own debts.
Before her raise, she had an excuse for not paying her debts. And she could ignore them and keep her big spending habits.
Now that she makes good money she doesn’t have an excuse, so she wants to combine finances so she can use her husband’s money to pay the debts. And she could keep spending big.
It's not your money. It's not his money. It should be "our" money. Trust issues can be hard to get past, but I hope these two can work it out. Put everything in writing that might make things easier.

She has a million dollars & still owes $92,000? I wonder about these people’s brains. It just common sense. I’d like to hear his side, she’s probably horrible with money.
She doesn't sound supportive of his choice in profession or the lifestyle that comes with being a military wife.
Separate but unequal doesn't work in marriage.
While I was on a combat Deployment my income was more than my Nurse Practitioner wife,I was so proud of that. When I returned and got out the Marines,I had a 40k annual paying job and was going to college full time. My ego was bruised but she reassured me how proud she was of my service and that I’m continuing my education/working. Every man needs that type of support

Dave: what's your husband do for a living?
Caller: he's military
Dave: um, OK, what does he do?
Caller: he's in the army - I guess he does army stuff?
Trying not to judge here but she doesn't care enough to know what her husband does which kind of makes sense how she was convinced to not know what her husband is doing financially. She probably doesn't care to know about her husband's other wife and kids too.
As soon as she started stumbling with her husband is AD in the Army I thought yeah, steel magnolia.
Military doesn't pay by the occupation. It pays by rank. Dave showed his knowledge.
I think Dave was trying to get an idea of the husbands personality traits - special forces vs army nurse vs supply chain probably have some different personality traits.
That's not entirely true. Certain jobs are eligible for additional pay outside of normal bonuses, jump pay, special duty pay, hazard pay, variable special pay, incentive pay. Just to name a few.
@@twiWright25 That's outside base pay. It's similar to getting a performance bonus at a civilian. It's addition to under certain met circumstances.
@@arthrodea I suppose you could say that. The title implies otherwise but later on he discusses a special forces personality.
@@kalabash72 I never said it was tied to base pay.
I think its natural for men to feel insecure about making less because men just want to feel they're providing for the family. The society shouldn't be so rough on men for that.
So if he was just "infantry" , dave was ready to call him a goob..
Surprisingly, for dave, he turned out to be better.. lol
As soon as she said he was in the military Dave wasn't going to say anything negative about him.
I love when one calls for financial problems but it turns out to be marriage/relationship problems.
i wish my wife made more money than me... all that means is more money going into our joint account
probably becauss she gives him a hard time.

So, he doesn't want to pay her debt because it would be enabling her shopping habits. She's gotta take responsibility for her debt or else her spending habits won't change.
The past decisions are causing the stress, gotta get on the same page.
This is social media, and the world is watching. If you have personal financial problems go straight to the point don't drag your spouse into it to feel good about yourself. I hate when spouses come online to spread their dirty laundry for the world to see. Let's not forget, it's always one sided situation because we didn't get to hear from the other half. That's my opinion. Spousal issue should be private. So together seek private counselling not coming to social media to make yourself feel good. Imagine the man getting a wind of this made by his wife, he's military, and uniform men don't joke with their pride. No one is perfect, at least protect his pride. What she said today is a recipe for catastrophe.
Yeah I feel bad for her husband
My sister had the same problem. Their marriage suffered. When she changed careers to lower pay, her marriage suddenly improved. He could not handle that she was primary bread winner.
Hypergamy for ya. I'd love to hear his side. I'm sure she is sweet as pie and not a dictator what so ever.
I would like to hear both sides of this story and then figure out the truth
Red flags 🚩 on her end. *She* has a problem that her husband doesn’t want to help pay her own debt despite the fact that she makes more money and ran up the debt herself.
Always read between the lines when someone calls and immediately puts the blame on the other person who doesn’t have a chance to make their case on the show as well.
Also, once again Dave is soft on women who make bad financial decisions, and harsh on men who do same, or he tells those women’s husbands to “man up!”. Smh.
If you’re this guy RUN 🏃♂️ Dave gives awful advice when it comes to relationship he takes the woman side 90% of the time and he comes off out of touch using that Christianity bull crap ideology on women who aren’t that. Hearing just how she speaks of the man tells you she doesn’t respect him as a man. Key things she used “I can dig myself out the debt” “ I make double what he makes” “ I make 6 figures” off that it tells you her man likely makes 40-60k the average income and she tears him down for that. I promise you like stats read this marriage ends in her cheating and than playing the I felt a disconnect and my coworker who makes 150k was there for me. Men don’t consume the feminist bull crap because the women who preach it don’t believe it. She underplayed her faults the entire time she doesn’t want to be held accountable I promise you if a big purchase is coming and he wants to go expensive or cheaper she will say i got the money you don’t she will constantly takes shot at his wallet
Me and my wife have separate accounts but both know exactly what each other has. It just works for us.
He should keep the finances separate until her debt is paid off
absolutely
There's an old Candid Camera clip that dealt with this. The husband was going to divorce wife cuz she made too much money. The lawyer who got pranked with dealing with the papers cried, "If my wife made more than me, I would stay with her forevvverrrr."
I wouldnt want to combine my income with her.
I see another problem.
Dave:What does your husband do?
Caller: Hes in the military.
Dave: But what does he do?
Caller: He’s active duty in the Army.
Me: BUT WHAT DOES HE DO? IS HE A MECHANIC, POLICE, COOK, WHAT DOES HE DO?
She can’t answer that, she clearly doesn’t care. To me, it almost sounds like she wants to brag about her income, blame the husband for not being happy, and just...ugh. Lack of communication apparently on both sides.
I would love to hear the husband side, but so far, I think she triggered his behavior.
I've got some different advice - husband should walk away from this marriage. And if he is genuinely special forces I would be surprised if he is making $50k a year - probably a lot more.

I never had resentment. Our rewards for service aren't entirely pay but they're real too, like money but morally more valuable. Ten or a dozen of the guys I flew with didn't survive but Ruth didn't seem affected by the risk. Maybe she hoped I'd plant one, but I always brought the airplane home, even from the carrier.

That is how it should be especially when the woman starts to make more money. Taking into account that she is a big spender and her history it's better that they keep their finances seperate. If I am responsible in the marriage for covering certain bills as the husband, I will continue to cover my responsibilities no matter if my wife makes ten times more. I will continue the same standard of living. What she does with the extra money is her choice. The problem normally comes in when he starts to become dependent on her money. So I salute this guy. Nothing wrong with being independent and wanting to be responsible and feel valued in the marriage. Many marriages are ended especially by women who feel that the husband is not pulling his weight. I would have done the same if I was in his situation considering her history of spending. Keep your finances seperate and continue to fullfil your responsibilities as agreed upon.
He is military. She wants him to find her accountable. He doesn't want to babysit. Therr is a budget -follow it. Sounds like she has a pattern of not doing it. No one wants to raise another child. He has checked out. He doesn't need more stress. Wrong or right.
This is what happens with a lot of people who make a lot of money. You make a lot, you spend a lot. When i get a salary increase I immediately go to my brokerage account and increase my automation strategy. It's the best thing for most people. Don't upgrade your lifestyle!!
He’s rightly scared of hypergamy
Mr Dave needs to stop telling this guy to man up. He doesn't know the full story. He just immediately made an uninformed judgement call. Fully disappointed in his advice, but kudos on the gift.
I bet it would give this guy SO much peace if she just quit working, it seems like her job adds more stress to their life, she had a goal of making six figures and she achieved it, but at what cost, her kids and marriage?
Moral of the story : Woman Up and stop actin all “new” because you doubled your income. Take responsibility for your wasteful spending pathology and stop projecting your insecurities on your husband’s masculinity
