That is my takeaway as well. If he strongly associates power or strength with masculinity, it may have caused him to question his manhood and even his sexuality when that happened. Similarly, I know guys who have been troubled by their wife/girlfriend making more money. I think these are both good “problems” to have but they don’t match up with everyone’s idea of how things are supposed to be.

Not sure if those are good problems to have.
If your partner (male or female) has more money or can easily handle you in a fight that means there is inequality in the relationship.
If she is the provider you are more dependent on her than when you are both making a similar amount of money.
Also she might not think you are a golddigger or leaching on her if you have your own income.
Seems most people have never been in a fight in their life. So if someone can easily kill you it confronts you with your fragility and mortality etc.
