That all said, I gross 3-4 times my wife's income and feel that the concept that as a result of this that I 'deserve' a higher standard of living in material goods than my wife is completely asinine. If that's one's position, they flat out shouldn't get married, because clearly they don't actually want to share a life with someone.

Haha yeah. I would not expect that would be well received and would not be my position were the roles reversed. But it's not deserve a better standard. It's about choice.
But to be clear, I'm not saying she thinks that in the slightest bit. I'm saying I think she has earned that right. So maybe I'm being patriarchal lol.
