There was a time there I was going to school and not working while she was working and footing the bill for all of our dates etc.
I don't really care what she's earning, as long as she is happy doing what she is doing.

Same, been with my wife since 1996 she was just 18 when we got together both of us had nothing.
Today I make more than her but honestly she's been more successful than I have and has really climbed the ladder, unfortunately for her she works for the Provincial Govt. who is 20 years behind with there wages. No word of a lie we have second year apprentices making more than her with some OT and she manages a huge team of around 150 I believe, I mean she has the pension but seems pretty fucked lol.
