My boyfriend is jealous of my successful career
My partner, “Greg,” and I have been together a year. I’m getting the impression my success at work is making him insecure. I pursued a stable and high-paying career. I enjoy knowing I can support my future children’s needs financially. My success has now resulted in several big promotions, which means more demanding schedules and draining technical tasks at times.

During my stressful times at work, I’ve noticed Greg suddenly withdraws and begins boasting about his income and work demands. He comes by less often, and when he is around, he acts uninterested in my activities and refuses to help with household chores, claiming his work is so demanding and he’s so important that he’s too tired.

Greg’s job is much less demanding than mine, and I feel he’s overinflating it to pump up his ego. I have tried to encourage his confidence, but that only seems to make him less focused on helping me. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that every time my workload is more stressful and I need his help, he disappears.

Greg has also promised for months that he’s moving in with me, but it has been five months now and still nothing. I’ve raised these issues and told him I feel lonely and unsupported. His response is that I “have the wrong idea” and he is “not a sexist,” but I can’t help but see a pattern.

I want a family, and I’m looking to settle down. I need someone I can rely on when times are tough. Should I keep trying to work things out with Greg, or will his ego be a forever issue? Should I cut my losses?

The real villain is looking at you.  The last hero was just not true.  If everything works out in the end.  It's because all things make amends.

I don't mind if she makes more than I do.

I met a girl who said she was willing to support
me and that she would even give me a stipend of $400.00
a month and that I could just go fishing.

I told her I could take care of our little kid while
she worked to feed us. I would teach the  boy
fishing and hunting skills. She said she would cook,
but she would not do diapers and would not get up in
the middle of the night for the kid. I would take
care of the kid instead.

So, she has bought me a brand-new car and put ten years of
warranty on it, even with sports tires. Gas, insurance, plate--
anything related to the car, she has handled.

But it's not a truck. So, the boy and I  have been
hitting the libraries instead. He can play fishing and hunting
games on video when he grows up. :2funny:
