## Resource

What does it feel like when the man earns less in the relationship? From rent, vacations, and gifts to more subtle moments like meeting her friends and family, this episode sits with the discomfort of men who are carried or are perceived to be, and women who carry them. We explore how money, ego, love, and respect play out when the economic roles are reversed.Join the Overthinkers Anonymous community: Follow us on Instagram @theoverthinkershq
