writes:My Husband and I have been together for 6 years, married under 3 years. I was 18 when we met and finishing college. My Husband was in his mid-thirties and left his long time professional career for a job as a firefighter which made him much happier. We married after my first year of law school. Now, I am a fully licensed attorney with a great job. We make close to the same money but he has expressed that he is troubled by the fact that in 2-5 years I will be making double what he is currently earning. I am trying to find advice for how to make him feel more secure. It is not a surprise to him that I am where I am now with my new career, but it is the first time since we have been together that he hasn't been "head of the household" or "the breadwinner".He has explained to me that he thinks I will leave and meet someone else. He has said that he feels unintelligent and trashy around me. I know that I have changed since we met when I was 18 and that we are both in a new place in our lives but I have been careful not to ever put him down, even when we are fighting. I know that his co-workers and friends all joke with him about being the "house-husband" but it never seemed to bother him while I was in school.Any advice on what I can do to make him see that I love him more than anything and that I will never leave? I have never threatened to walk out or leave him for another man, and I really do feel that we are a perfect match.
