A partner that won't help lift you up isn't worth it. If he drags you down about this now, imagine what it'll be like in a few months or years when a promotion comes up or if he still cannot find work in the field. Partners are supposed to be supportive and uplifting.

Handjobs? Your boyfriend has a way with words.

Well he's probably right, networking is a major part of any training program, yet its easy to overlook. Sounds like he's just a bit jealous, always sucks when you feel like you've done everything right but fail anyways.

if he can't be Happy for you and with you walk out it's only going to get worst. he's gonna start by saying things were handed to you and you don't deserve any happiness until you actually start to believe it and that when the real abuse starts when he broke your spirit and believe you can't do anything without him. just ship now before it's too late. just look back and see if he was ever happy for for anything you've done and was praise for by other people if he never wasit shows his insecurities and is trying to control and break you down. For real if he can't be happy with you and for you run. the only things he'll celebrate are little things he'll do for you and forever hold it against you replacing any happiness you have had before him with menial things he's done.
