When it comes to males/female relationships certain things are ingrained in our fabric.
- A man must be able to protect his woman.
- A man must be confident enough to guide the relationship.
- A man must provide emotional support and stability for his woman.
There is another expectation of men that has been left off this list. It is the king of unstated rules. If the rule isn’t followed (or can’t be) then it can cause great heartache for a man.
- A man must be the primary breadwinner in the relationship.
Some people think its a silly way to carry yourself in a relationship. Personally, I think the man should be the breadwinner in the household.
Am I crazy or am I right?

I don’t think he HAS to, but it’s just more in line with traditional thinking.
Not at all.
He doesn’t HAVE to make the most money in the household. Tradition has taught us that mindset. But I certainly hope he wouldn’t pass on the opportunity of doing so.
Fuck that! I’m gonna find me a doctor!
It doesn’t really matter, it’s what they do together that matters. I do think that some men are insecure if they make less money than their mates.
I used to really care before I started meeting women with money!
It’s 2009. Women need to make more. Where ya’ll at?
My lady makes more than me, when your married or in a relationship it all goes in the pot together anyways. And if not, she can buy her own damn expensive purses instead of blowing my dough.
In a marriage, this should not be an issue because there isn’t a mine and yours but ours! Regardless of who is making more money, together you have the responsibility of building the wealth.
So THAT’S what it was huh? LOL
I dont think he is required to make more, but I think he should…or at least provide more in regards to the family/household.
