What percentage end up leaving/cheating on their male mate?

This just happened to a couple that I know. And I've seen it happen other times as well. I wonder if it causes stress that just doent happen the other way around.

My guess would be around 50%, the same as in the rest of the population.
 
I'm an engineer, she's in sales... of course she makes more than I do.
I'm glad she makes more than me!
I don't think she will ever cheat, but I'm sure all men think that. 🙂

When a man earns less than his wife, then in the back of her mind she's always thinking, "Why do I have to listen to this loser?"

When has a woman ever listened to anything any man has ever said?
"Honey, can you please turn the lights off when you leave the room? Global warming is real, you're the cause, and you're making baby Jesus cry"
"Screw you, awesome dude. I can waste all the electricity I want. I'm a woman, I deserve it."

How do I know there are no female environmentalists? Women never turn lights off.

I think the more likely scenario would be marry a man or woman with a good job then sleep with someone on the side who has some shitty job that doesn't pay anything. Maybe I wouldn't ever want to marry a waitress but I'd still pound the hell out of one. The wife probably feels the same way about that young lad who cleans the outdoor pool on weekends.

Don't get use to that. I seriously doubt your SO will put up with this forever. Just my opinion but I don't see this ending well for you. Well maybe you'll get alimony. Lol

oh no doubt... I am just doing it now for the kids. When they are in school full time I will find something to do outside the house. But what ever it is will be for fun not for the money. May just volunteer actually.
 
I don't understand why some people are so insistent that a man that makes less money than his wife is going to get left? As a man that stays home with our child, my wife obviously makes more money than I do but she's made it quite clear that money doesn't matter and we're very happy together.

I really appreciate all these people who have never met me or my wife making predictions about the future of our relationship, though.

I imagine they are young and insecure, probably trolling too lol. Good for you. I know my kids are better off for me staying home with them, and I am sure yours are as well. I sure it gives your wife peace of mind too.
