"  Recently, we brought you the story of a stay-at-home boyfriend who does the housework while his GF works a nine to five and pays the bills. And, in the comments, many of you said that such a situation wouldn&amp;#039;t fly in your own lives.  Well, the idea of a female breadwinner is back in the news with the release of a new study showing that men whose wives earn more income than they do are more likely to use erectile dysfunction medication than those who outearn their wives\u2014even when the difference between their earnings is small. Researchers also found that breadwinner wives have increased insomnia and anxiety medication usage. Which is pretty crazy, right? We&amp;#039;re all for a high-powered woman bringing home the bacon. But, we can&amp;#039;t help but wonder if those prescribed gender roles for men and women are so ingrained within us (and within society) that messing with them messes with our heads\u2014and our relationships. Men, traditionally, are supposed to support the family, so not doing so could put unexpected pressure on a guy&amp;#039;s female partner and make him feel emasculated for not living up to the role he &amp;quot;should&amp;quot; play in his family.  That said, this is pretty screwy and if a man can&amp;#039;t deal with your success (and appreciate how it benefits both of you), he&amp;#039;s got some other issues. Of course the pill popping could be because guys who earn less just feel pressure to really bring it in bed. In which case, we totally approve. Just maybe...they could do it without artificial enhancement. Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
