View submission: My boyfriend says I’m privileged
It won’t get better. It’ll only get worse. Thinking it will get better is magical thinking and won’t serve you very well.
He’s bitter because you didn’t have it as hard as he did. And apparently cannot stop thinking about it and making comments. That’s beyond childish. He’ll never be truly happy to see you succeed, and will always consider your successes in life less valid than those of people who didn’t have access to the type of support that you did. He will always resent you. Does that sound like the type of life you want?
You deserve someone who builds you up, cheers you on, and is sincerely happy for your accomplishments. That’s what a good “teammate” and partner does without effort. Hell, that’s what a good friend does — and he can’t even pretend or fake it. This man sounds like a shit partner who will only rain on your future parades, and honestly, he could have a negative effect on your professional growth. This dude’s resentment of you is a huge red flag.
There's nothing here!
