In couples where the woman's salary significantly exceeds the man's, problems often arise.

Thus, representatives of the stronger half of humanity often feel competition, and women stop treating their husbands as breadwinners, which results in mutual claims.

As a result, spouses often experience depression, decreased sexual desire, and sometimes cheating on the part of the partner.

What to do to save a relationship

The first thing a woman who has been offered a promotion should do is discuss it with her husband.

Both partners must be ready for such changes and agree with them: be sure to discuss all the nuances, then distribute responsibilities and agree on managing the family budget.

At the same time, God forbid you point out your superiority to your man – your relationship will definitely not improve if you point out the difference in your salaries to your spouse every day.

And the third step that both of you should take is to visit a family psychologist.
