That's the thing. She is a girlfriend. When you get married -- and especially if you have kids -- you have to consider the needs of the whole before deciding to spend money on frivolous playthings. I make about 3x what my wife makes. She does a majority of the child rearing, keeps the house clean, makes most of the meals, runs all the errands, stays on top of all the bills, etc. Yes, I earn the vast majority of what we make, but she carries a lot of the weight even if she isn't physically receiving a paycheck for it.
