Has anyone been successful and found their partner is horrible to them?

Great friend DF has just got a great new job and her partner hasn’t stopped criticising her and complaining since. Can someone tell me what is going on?

Jealousy.

He’s threatened by a capable woman by the sounds of it. Worst kind of bloke, insecure.

My husband is always proud of my achievements. I earn more and his usual response is “Brilliant more holidays” 😂.

He’s insecure and jealous of her success
She should dump him

He's an insecure arse hole that is trying to make her feel terrible to cover his own insecurities. Doesn't work though, he will feel guilty on some level and then try to justify it by "she deserves me being horrible, she made me feel like I'm useless, she emasculated me" and will get even worse.

People that love us are supposed to build us up, not tear us down .

It probably won’t get any better unfortunately. It usually gets worse if anything.

Oh dear, not good. She’s ignoring at the moment and hoping it will settle. There is overseas travel 2/3 times a year she thinks that might be the problem
