simplybrill Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Ive been dating this really sweet, attractive guy for a little over a month now, and things are great, he's actually wanting to take things slow...which is great, because really hot fire-relationships burn out quickly with me anyways. My problem is...I think he's threatened by my success. Im in college full time, and I just got a new job where Ill be making more than him. He took a break from college and he will be returning this summer, he's working at a local retail store. I dont know what's with him, or even how to talk to him about it...
Huntr777 Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Try a little sit down, heart to heart and ask him what you just asked us. In this case the direct approach is the best approach. Most likely he'll appreciate you being concerned about this and bringing the matter up sooner rather than later. Hope it works out for you... Hunter
Spider-Man Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 yeah all you can do is ask him straight out, I find being open and honest is the best thing. However if you think he may take offence to this, try and go about it in a more subtle way. Persoanlly i'd not care if my gf had a much better career than me, however if she was always working I may feel a bit lonely and wish she'd not work quite so much.

Author simplybrill Posted January 25, 2005 Author Posted January 25, 2005 I know...I think I might have been over-reacting. But anyways...I think his nervousness about my job, isnt how much more money Ill be making, its how much time we'll be together once it starts. Burger would have been alright, they were perfect together, but he had some major insecurity issues. I know...who would have known that Big's real name was John...that was so odd... Thanks a lot guys, but I have another question! Would it bother you if your man still lived at home? Mine does, and having to say hey, and do the niceties with his mom is getting kind of annoying, because she tends to ask a lot of questions. Maybe its because she's a stay at home mom or something, but sometimes I wish she wasnt so,,,well "involved" in her son's life. I'm not used to being with someone who still lives at home with his parents. Its a whole different thing. I moved out of my mom's house when I was 18. I know everyone's different, but in the back of my head, it just seems well...you know, wierd. He's 20, why's he still living at home, dont most guys move out-first chance they get? He doesnt have a lot of money, but then again, I have friends who bust their butts workin so that they can live on their own.
