A friend of mine has some stress lately, it is about the relationship with his spouse. I believe that he really loves her, but he felt like that he was inferior to her in terms of job title. She is definitely a smart girl, who graduated from UGA (University of Georgia), a prestigious college in Goergia. Her major was business management. After graduation, she got her first job in a prestigious company (I do not know the name of it). In opposite, he wasn’t even finish his college degree. He dropped out because he intends to make money better than just stay with a textbook 24 hours a day. In his concept, he probably would make more money in the meantime he was in college. That is his option. Now, he working in a nail salon as a nail technician. He might make some decent money, but I guess his wife contribute more money to the family than his.

In several occasion, when we were hanging out, he was venting out his stress. He felt that his wife in a position where he was inferior to her. While she whining about his incompetency. In some occasions, she urged him back to school, or finish his unfinished degree. He wasn’t ready to do it, and probably he doesn’t have a heart to do it again. I knew him pretty well, he wasn’t a student type, who stick to a desk for 6 hours study. Sometimes, they even argue.

I feel that a couple should talk peacefully instead of attacking each other. Or either one of them didn’t listen carefully to each other. They might misunderstood each others’ meaning in a conversation. Or before the conversation started, they already prepared their defensive argument.
