I used to out-earn my husband but after taking the step towards starting my own biz, he is the primary (read: only) financial contributor to our household. He's incredibly supportive, but the change has been really hard for me. I feel guilt, I feel like it's "his" money. One thing that has helped immensely is we do a Sunday evening discussion on finances. We track our budget, chat about spending, make goals. IMO, marriage should be a commitment to share finances. Taking steps to normalize that is a bit harder; so highly recommend making it part of your routine to talk about spending habits, budget goals, etc.
