How To Keep Career Competition From Ruining Your Relationship
But don’t add pressure
What you don’t want to do when your partner is feeling behind in his career is add pressure. There is a difference between encouraging someone and pressuring someone. Don’t compare him to others who are doing better and say, “Do what they do.” Tell him what he’s good at. Tell him what he’s doing right. Tell him you believe in him. But never make him feel like you are worried that he won’t make it. Nobody needs that.
