My bf is far more successful in all aspects of life than me, but with every new achievement he praises me and gives me credit for supporting him. I know one day all of our dreams will come true, and I don't feel less because we play different roles in our relationship and we need of each other to accomplish all our goals.

@GandhiLama Well, this is a wonderful dynamic you have. It sounds like your boyfriend is not only successful but he also has the maturity and humility that compliments his success. Guys often have a harder time with women's success than the other way around.

What about the other way around ? How does the more accomplished one deal the relationship ?

@kingbarneyoflondon

Great question. A little modesty and humility will go along way.

I needed to hear this. I struggle with this. Just feeling inferior to people who are more "successful" than I am. Doesn't have to be just girls. But its intimidating to date cause I don't make much money. but I know I must fight the lies and you hit it on the head. American culture really puts a persons worth in what they do when in reality that's only a part of it but its not all of it. There is more to a person.

I think it depends how you define success alot of the time.

Truly a blessing in disguise...

What if you been trying to show her that Im growing... and still stays with me (emotionally/Physically) eventhough, she goes on "dates" .....she complains about my immaturity, and things I havent done for you emotionally, but still wants me, I notice I have insecurities that I never felt before...I always been a type who always had beautiful women, but with this one girl I feel inferior because she posses traits I strive for...Would that hinder growth of awareness?

If your a dude who makes a lot less money or are far less accomplished than the girl you are with, either move to a higher social status or be prepared to be eventually kicked to the curb. Women by their very nature seek qualities ina man that make them feel protected..thata man can provide and take care of them. Even if they make a lot or have alot, they eventually won't respect you if their position in life is higher.
