I only speak for myself, but while it would be nice if my H made more money, him providing money for me has never been an issue or something I expected from him, it may be a little bit archaic to think that way. We have always shared our accounts. I do make more than my spouse and this has never been a concern of mine either.

My father made significantly more than my mother and although they have been married for over 45 years i do know that she is/was very resentful of the fact that he pointed out that he was the provider quite often and she felt it belittled her and her contribution to the household.
