[A-Woman]

I think it is more of a control issue than a gender issue. I have historically earned far more than my partners. However, I am facing the situation where my newly graduated partner will be making almost twice as much as me immediately following the commencement ceremony. Although I have supported the family during my partner’s education, I am somewhat threatened by the prospect that I will not be the primary breadwinner. It makes me feel as if my role in making buying decisions will be lessened proportionately to my income contributions. Before, I felt I had the right to make all the decisions, even though we always discussed and agreed upon a course of action. Given this scenario, I feel this is an issue of control. Perhaps men feel that way, too.
