GIRL FEELS INFERIOR CAUSE BF WENT TO TOP UNI & GOT BETTER JOB, BUT SHE ONLY GOT DIPLOMA

Anyone feels inferior when they are of a very different education / earning status than their partner?

For example: You went to a neighbourhood secondary school, went to polytechnic and have been working as a diploma holder as you did not go through university education (for some reason)

You have a partner who went to an IP school, went to an elite JC, got 90 RP for A Levels and furthered their studies in a prestigious university in Singapore, eventually working and drawing way more salary than you

Would you feel inferior and scared that your partner will choose to leave for someone who is around the same “status” as them? Honestly, I feel like this too.

1. Yes, that’s why it’s also good to ensure that you can support yourself independently, just in case your partner has a change of heart. Never ever ever put your heart 100% into someone or trust your MONEY (especially money) with someone else, not even your partner. Life is like that, if you really think about it (deeply), actually you are on your own, whether you have a partner or not…
2. It’s optimistic to assume that you will even get that kind of a partner.. unless you are a hot girl of course
3. You can’t change the fact that your partner is a very accomplished person, some people are just built different. But you can change how you view your relationship. It would be very unhealthy if you continue to fester feelings of insecurity that may potentially escalate to jealousy.
   Your partner may be great, but he/she is not god. Stop looking at what he has that you don’t and start looking at what you have that he may not have. You will definitely have something to offer that they do not. Maybe you’re better at dealing with people than they are, maybe you’re funny person and they like your company, maybe you’re compassionate and kind and they feel good being around you. Look at them for who they are and not what they’ve accomplished. I think it would make your relationship a lot healthier.
4. Marriage means shared success, failure, happiness, sadness, any anything between. What the other lacks might be you have plenty of. In the end, you still need to love yourself so what overflows is shared to your partner.
