I recently got into a new relationship and the man is collecting unemployment (blue collar worker) and going to school to finish his college degree at the moment. I am a highly educated woman and make a decent living.
We rarely do things that entail money and this does not bother me, but I tend to feel that there is a problem on his side that I make more money or that I may even be a male ego killer since I am very independent. We are an outdoorsy couple, so rarely is money an issue.
Could you please offer me some advice on how to remain independent but certainly add the boost to the male ego at the same time?
