Hi, this is well off-off topic but I have a question I hope some of the ladies can help me understand a little.
I am successful in my job, and paid very well (significantly over $100k). I am educated with a doctorate and enjoy what I do tremendously.
If a girlfriend earns $10-20/hr (irregular work) it doesn't bother me at all to be paying for dates etc but I notice some amount of defensiveness on finances. I would never bring up the subject but it can be a little discomforting.
So to the ladies I ask this; would having a much higher earning boyfriend bother you or make you feel like you were being 'bought'? Would you put this down to a little insecurity or just someone wanting to not be dependent on a partner?
