Earns Less Than You Do
Think twice before you happily rush home from work and immediately let your perfect man know that you have just been promoted and will soon start earning considerably more than you used to. Make sure that your man earns more than you will earn now instead – just in case. If you want his psychological condition to stay safe and sound from self-gnawing of course...
It's a well-known fact that your man is very reluctant to hear that you earn more than he does. Even if the amount is not too big, it will still bother him greatly. At first he will lose sleep because of this, then he will lose his temper and eventually, he will lose his mind.
That's why the best way out in this situation is trying to somehow avoid telling him your real salary in case you do earn more than his fragile sensitive self. Guess you will agree that it's much better than losing your job because of his uselessly capricious ambitions in the long run. They are uselessly capricious ambitions to you only, my dear.
Because to him the problem seems globally huge, and his reaction to it is more than justified in his view. The issue of your earning more than he does suggests the fact that you are more powerful than he is which is unacceptable to your perfectly strong warrior.
The fact that you earn more money eats him from inside and will never let go of his poor exhausted hurt mind till he demands you to quit your job. It's not that he envies you, it's just that in his perception such impressive independence of yours means his overhurt pride, his inability to achieve something even a woman (!) can easily achieve – at that very moment it doesn't matter to him that this woman is uniquely perfect when his brain is successfully blurred with one and only thought – the thought about your outrageously higher-than-his salary.
Your man should be sure that you won't survive without his help and his existence in this wonderful world instead of watching you buying things here there everywhere spending money as if you grow it on trees which he cannot afford himself to do.
In most similar cases if a man knows that a woman he likes deeply earns much more than he does, he will hardly ever date her. Even if she's drop-dead-gorgeous and more or less fits his image of a perfect woman. Of course, there are cases when men intentionally look for sugar mamas who will take a good material care of them till the day they are no longer relentlessly sweet and handsome. However, the latter situations are exceptions rather than rules.
Of course, quitting your great job just for your man's ego to find peace and selfish satisfaction is senseless. There must be another way out for sure, there is always another way out, even when it seems to you that the situation is nothing but a dead-end.
Try to talk to your man, use your great power of winding words round your little finger to convince him that in your situation such improvement is very good, that you will be able to afford things that you used to avoid because of lack of money. Make your man sure that it's not the end of the world, compliment him as much as you can saying that he's talented enough and will get promoted too in nearest future and will enjoy earning twice more than you do.
All these attempts may not work, that's why try not to hurt your man's ego and avoid telling him about your promotion if there's no other way for him to find out about it. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you...
