I do have a question. My H said that he feels like I will always be superior to him. That I will always have more education (currently working on my BSN and he just got his HS diploma and GED because he never made an effort to take care of it in the past but it's necessary to getting a job here in the US), be a better parent, will make more money, be more loving, and more caring. He says he wants someone who looks up to him with stars in their eyes saying, "Oh, you are so smart!". He says he wants to be with someone who looks up to him and because we are both very smart he feels that I don't need him. He says he has felt like I am not interested in him for a very long time. How does backing away and giving him space factor into this? It doesn't feel productive. HELP!?!
