    Except even in dual income households a lot of times, the lower earner in the relationship has made career sacrifices to enable the higher earner, be it

    • taking a roles with lower responsibility to have increased flexibility

    • accepting jobs in new locations with limited growth opportunity when the higher earner moves for a promotion

    • foregoing growth opportunities / education earlier in life to support raising a family

    Relationships are a partnership, working together for a collective goal. When one partner “makes substantially more than the other” that probably wasn’t achieved alone
