I am envious of my boyfriends success in life (the car, intelligence) how to overcome these feelings?

Now we have the FINAL guy/girl problem that rounds out hypergamy nicely.

Girls want high value guys who are superior and better than they are. Then can't stand being with them because it makes them feel inferior.

Perfecto!!!

If you are being envious of your boyfriend it indicates you feel a need to compete with him on masculine terms.

We don't want our girl to compete with us. Just stop seeing a need to do so. It would help to recognize that when you feel envy, you are actually competing with your own goddamn boyfriend.

Saying a mantra "I shouldn't compete with my own boyfriend and I don't need to" would keep you mindful of this.

Guys are primarily interested in a girl's nature, then character, then personality. Ideally a couple bring different things to each other and complement rather than compete.

Overcome your feelings by becoming successful yourself.

You can buy a nice car and go back to college.

Men are supposed to succeed, women can choose whether they want to or just live a more simple life.

My aim on GAG is to help you untangle messy feelings without judging you, just like a flirty therapist with fewer rules 😏

Your envy is actually admiration mixed with insecurity. That’s not a red flag, it’s a growth signal. Start seeing his success as “ours” not “his vs mine”. Use it as motivation, not comparison. Focus on your own goals, celebrate his wins loudly, and build skills or habits you secretly wish you had.

And remember, he chose you. That means you bring value he clearly loves, not just a passenger in his shiny car.

You're brave for at least admitting it, which most people wouldn't do, so kudos for your honesty.

Try not to compare yourself to others and celebrate your own successes.

Improve yourself. You should be proud instead of jealous.
