This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dude I find guy who get weird about their partner making more money than them sorta odd. Fucking please, by all means honey go make significantly more money than me.
It's a toxic masculinity trait. His value is tied to how much money he makes in his mind, and because men are supposed to be more valuable to society according to the patriarchy he is therefore a failure.
But those marriages are more likely to fail (https://www.chicagobooth.edu/media-relations-and-communications/press-releases/when-women-earn-more-than-their-husbands )
Well it's plausible that men overall are uncomfortable enough about their partners making more money that they're willing to tank their marriages.
