Are you competitive with your partner?

[analievelyn]

I feel like a lot of cis het men are easily threatened by women that out-earn them. At least this is what I've read about online lol

cis-het realtionships in general seem like shit for women? no matter what? society gives men so many outs and support that there's no point to me to accommodating men at all. Men will be men. Jay-Z cheated on Beyonce. Charles on Princess Diana. That guy cheated on Saweetie. so i don't think i'll ever compromise.

My husband is my biggest cheerleader. He really talks me up, I might get a big head if I listen to him too much. He’d probably have me running my department if he could. It sounds so stupid because it should be a given, but the big difference is he doesn’t see my success as detracting from his own. We celebrate both our accomplishments equally.

No I’m not even sure what it even means to be competitive. We’re in two entirely different job sectors and don’t intersect at all so we have nothing to be competitive about lol

I dated someone in the same industry as me (entertainment) who was a few years older, more successful and had great mentors. I was just starting out. I didn’t feel competitive with him at all and felt really happy for him. But it kind of sucked to see some of my friends hardcore networking with him and figuratively sucking his dick lmao

No, I'm my wife's biggest stan. I don't care about careers or attention though.

of all the problems i've dealt with with CIS men that wasn't one of them

Re: Are you competitive with your partner?

My parents got divorced in part bc my dad couldn’t deal with my mom making more money than him. He wanted them to live in abject poverty rather than have her continue to hold a job that made more than him.

My friend has a lot of anxiety about “not providing for my wife” now that she makes more money than him, that I struggle to have compassion or patience for.

Between the two of them, I think my dad has serious control issues he chose to feed rather than fix, and my friend has a lot of unpacked toxic masculinity he IS working on in therapy.

But it is absolutely a thing I have seen in multiple cis men when it comes to their partners/prospective partners.

i don't have a partner atm but i wouldn't be competitive with them at all, i'd cheer them on with their career-- though i'd expect the same from them. i'm very ambitious with my career goals so i wouldn't want to be with someone who feels insecure about it (which is why i think it might be best if i'm with someone who is also ambitious)

I was dumped in high school because I got higher marks than him and he thought I’d been playing dumb. he was butthurt because when we’d study together he felt all studly because he *thought* I needed his help cause I’d flunked the class the first time around but I’d spent that semester skipping class and mostly high and playing cards of course I was gonna get like 30% lol
