Description

While we still have a lot of work to do, I’m really glad we’ve made strides in closing the gender pay gap. Women's increased incomes have led to significant changes in household dynamics. More women are becoming the primary or even sole breadwinner for their family.This change is great and has led to many positives for both men and women. However, our culture is still caught up in traditional gender roles, especially when it comes to money. Many people expect a man to be the primary breadwinner in a relationship. This leads to awkwardness, confusion and tension.In today’s episode, we are going to talk about those feelings, especially from the lens of men. There is no better person to have this conversation with then my friend Ed Coambs. Ed is a financial therapist and has over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families experiencing a wide range of money-related distress.In this conversation, we dive into topics such as overcoming your internal feelings about contributing less financially, managing money with your partner without feeding resentment, and responding to friends when they joke about the income disparity in your relationship.A lot of juicy topics, so if you’re ready for it, I hope you enjoy my conversation with firefighter turned certified financial therapist…Ed Coambs.Key Takeaways:What happens when your partner is making more than youHandling resentment when one partner makes significantly more moneyManaging your internal emotions when your significant other has the career spot lightUnderstanding your money origin storySocietal messaging about gender norms and moneyResponding to your friends make jokesMore of Ed:www.healthyloveandmoney.comMore of The Struggle is Real:Find show notes and more at https://www.tsirpodcast.com/Connect with Justin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinleepeters/
