“If I’m richer than my man, I will control him.” That statement from singer Ayra Starr Sister SALT has sparked a bigger conversation about money, relationships, gender roles and power in modern dating. But is financial superiority really a license to control your partner?
On this episode of The Black Table, the panel dives deep into the controversial debate around dating up, dating down, women who earn more than their partners, the provider mentality, gold-digging, poverty mentality and financial compatibility in relationships. Should a woman still expect a man to provide if she earns significantly more? Can a man genuinely date a woman who is richer than him without feeling insecure? And if one partner has more money, does that give them the right to control the other?
The conversation gets even more intense as the panel shares real-life experiences of wealthy relationships, financial imbalance, family influence, marriage, money and what happens when the money disappears. Is society teaching women to chase money while teaching men that their value depends on what they can provide? And should every working adult, regardless of gender, be responsible for contributing financially to a relationship?
Watch till the end and tell us: If your partner earns significantly more than you, should they have more control in the relationship?
