While it's been documented that women earn significantly less money than men in the same position, men — at least modern men — are more than OK with women earning more dough than her beau.
Again, dated gender roles have taught us that men should be the sole provider of the household, and that's just not the case anymore. As such, as this transition occurs throughout society, the occasional man may feel insecure about his financial situation — not because he's not supportive of her, but because he feels as though he isn't fulfilling his end of the bargain, and is failing as a partner.
In my own relationship, I'd earned more money than my girlfriend for most of our relationship, but recently, my girlfriend got a promotion and earns a more solid income than I do. How did I feel? Proud! I love that she's successful in her career. It's actually a huge turn-on. Dated gender roles aren't going to get in the way of my girlfriend's success or my emotional support as her boyfriend.
