Well I'd just feel like a total failure looking at all her success and comparing myself to her. Honestly if I ever got a girlfriend with a much more illustrious career than me, I'd want her to take zero interest in what I do for a living or in improving my situation. I'd feel like I'm letting her down then for having such a shit job and not being able to do any better, which again would make me worry she'd leave me for someone more successful, especially once she realises that all her encouragement and support doesn't make any difference.
Why do men have a problem with women making more money than they?
