Been divorced since forever, and with age comes wisdom. I think it would be fantastic if I had a high earning wife. Really..

My SO teaches religion parttime and makes more than I do working fulltime in IT. Power to her. If I wanted the same I should've become a teacher too.
Any chance this correlates with finally being able to afford mental health care?
There goes the patriarchy hurting men again.
Gotta add that my wife makes more than me and I’m sure glad she does.
For men, mental health issues that arose as female earnings increased were more likely to be related to substance-related concerns, whereas women were more likely to experience neurotic and stress-related disorders.
I'm not convinced of a causative relationship here (well, at least for the men, it makes sense that working more increases stress on the women's side). It's possible that the woman became the higher earner because of the man's existing substance abuse problem, and/or that the woman becoming a higher earner allowed the man to seek help for the problem.
It's also possible that the substance abuse problem developed after the woman became the higher earner, though I'm not sure why that would happen.
Society needs to normalize households women being successful.
