'He made very derogatory remarks': 42-year-old boyfriend tells his successful businesswoman girlfriend she couldn't have gotten this far without cheating, she retorts that he's the reason none of his relationships last

There is no shortage of men who say they want a successful, ambitious wife, only for their actions to show they want the opposite. It's not unheard of for husbands to sabotage their wives' work life because they don't want her to become more successful than them. Some men are intimidated by women who can provide for themselves and aspire to do more than marry and have children. Heck, there are men out there who want to put down their wives' ambitions, no matter how low-stakes they are. They could want to go to the movies on Friday, and their husband would find a way to ensure that doesn't happen. Men who don't have much going for them feel intimidated by independent women and feel like they're not "needed" as a provider who can't be replaced. In a healthy relationship, each person props up and supports their partner's goals and ambitions, giving them emotional support that says, "I believe in you."
