In cases like these, it is preferable to catch these unhealthy patterns before the relationship becomes too serious. One woman was left doubting how her fiancé felt about her following his reaction to her big promotion at work. Initially, he had wanted to celebrate by taking her out to dinner, but then he joked in front of friends that she wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of the added responsibility.
After she questioned him about it, he insisted that he was worried about her burning out. She felt like he had underestimated her, as well as displayed a prejudiced attitude. She looked for a second opinion on the matter.

Woman gets promoted to senior project manager, gets upset when fiancé tells friends she can't handle the pressure: 'You know how anxious you get'
A relationship that isn't supportive is not really a relationship at all.
For many, one of the main benefits of having a romantic partner is that they make their life better in all possible aspects. They are there to support you during the hard times and to be the first to champion your successes when things are looking up. If they prove incapable or unwilling to do either of these things, it can leave somebody thinking whether their relationship is actually in their best interests.
It is an unfortunate reality that those in relationships often experience these kinds of disappointments, and they can become the grounds for major arguments. Sometimes a partner might have a good reason for giving the best support that they can, but more often than not, this kind of behavior reveals opinions and behavior patterns that are only likely to cause more problems as time goes on.
