But what's a bit unusual is in the cases where the wife makes more in our circle of friend, she makes quite a bit more than her husband, while the guys seem to make just a bit more. I'd say in many ways things equaled out, maybe not in all cases but it's geting close. While I make more money than my wife, I would say in our group of friends it's pretty evenly split 50/50.

I have been supporting my husband through a very early (early 30s) disability retirement from federal law enforcement and career change, starting a business change for the past 2 years. He has a pension, but it could cover our house payment and nothing else. He does have health insurance for us though. Anywho, I am the breadwinner and in a miserable career. I am having Baby #1, and I think that will be the impetus for change. I wish that I had a neurologist hubby sometimes, but he is a wonderful husband, and I think a great dad to be. We've been together since I was 18 - 14 years. I would rather be with him a million times over than anyone else. I have to remind myself of that whenever I get frustrated. I am in the same boat.
