My girlfriend is more successful than I am?

[Anonymous]

She’s about to graduate with a degree and I’ll still be working on mine despite me being four years older. I’m getting scared that she will start to resent me once she starts making more money and what not. I’m saving money as much as I can and I want to invest and just do something on the side.

Dont spread yourself to thin. Do what you love and love what you do.
This type of thing 9 times out of ten is just you worrying too much.
But seriously just talk to her if it bothers you too much.
The problem with humans are we typically wait too long and nothing can be fixed.
Make a nice dinner and just talk to each other.
Express to her you don't want her to be the pack mule. Often times you will find they dont mind that. Typically the ones that do mind are selfish overgrown kids that want an expensive car and a big house because they want to look successful to others.
Just lay your cards out and talk

Honestly, it doesn't actually matter if one of you makes more money than the other. At some point over the next couple of years, one of my best friends will end up being on about 50k-60k less than his girlfriend. The point is, if what you're doing makes you happy and you make enough money to advance in your life and the relationship is healthy, how much more or less one of you earns should never matter. You should both be supportive of each other to do the best you possibly can.

Why?
We're in 2018. Men don't have to make more money than their girlfriend. They don't have to pressure themselves or feel inferior because of it.

It really doesn't matter. Do you think you would love your girlfriend less when she was less succesfull?

If she is a good person, i would accept her in every phase of hers... being successful doesn't matter much...

[Shreyash108]

Oh sorry... i thought your comment was a general question!!!

[Ms_Ronaldo]

Haha. It was a question :) you answerd perfectly 😀

[Shreyash108]

Thank you😊!!!
I think there are other qualities that i focus on someone and financial success isn't a criteria at all...

Haha! come on! i think its really cute! i always wanted such a girl who is more successful than me and still she owns me like i belong to her and she belongs to me. Its awesome feeling! I would say, i want to be a weak nerve of a strong girl ;) hahaha :D

Keep up the good work, keep trying, be the best boyfriend you can be and if you both are good people, you have nothing to worry about.

It shouldn't matter if you're later. What should matter is what you're working on. If you waste all your money and quit school, that would be bad.

Keep on working. You can’t change how she feels about this.

Break up with her
