Dear Abby: My work success seems to hurt my partner’s ego
A year into their relationship, her recent promotions and higher pay seem to make her partner insecure; when work gets stressful he withdraws and starts boasting about his income and workload.
DEAR ABBY: 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.
