In Your Comeback today, Emma Gilbey Keller asks for stories from women who out-earn their mates . We know you’re out there; one in three married women is in such a position today, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

E-mail her at emma@thecomebackbook.com , and she may post your response.
