If a woman was earning less or about the same as her partner and then gets a promotion or a new job - in the eyes of men here how should that topic be approached?

Assuming she doesn’t care about the shift itself but is worried he’ll feel a type of way about it.

Obviously there are a lot of stipulations here, what both parties are earning, age, how significant the raise is, if they live together/have children but I want to keep it as general as possible.

Let’s say she now earns 50% more than her male partner (he makes 60k, she now makes 90k for example).

I believe honesty is the best policy but others would argue it’s better to downplay it or keep it under wraps as to not upset or threaten their partner.

I think this is an important conversation to have given that more women are entering university and high earning professions and we will be seeing more couples where the woman earns more.
