I Blocked My Wife From Being Richer Than Me But Now I Regret It- Depressed Man Shares .

This has been disturbing for a very long time now and I honestly do not know how to approach the issue , that is why I am here.

I have been a bread winner all my life , this is because I lost my parents at a very tender age and I was the first born of the family , so in essence, I automatically took the responsibility of taking care of 6 of my younger ones .

I was 34 years when I felt like I was ready to get married . I met my girlfriend when I was in the university and we had the best romance ever .

Even at that time I was still providing for myself younger ones and also made sure that I did my best to give her what she wanted as well but she actually never needed my money because she was from a well to do family .

So , after we got married , her dad offered her a job at his company and immediately she started earning higher than me , this made me a bit furious because I had always been a provider all my life . I felt like I was useless to her after marriage.

Then , the deception started , I started blackmailing her emotionally into firstly quitting her job at her father ‘s company by telling her that he is exploiting her expertise and paying her so little .

So she quit there and went to look for better opportunities, while she had been doing this , I made sure I blocked every single path that would lead to her success , like when she had an interview I would fake an illness .

Or when she found a good job opportunity I would delete it immediately so that she wouldn’t be able to find it again . I can been doing this for 2 years consecutively.

I really feel ashamed of myself but I can’t seem to stop myself every time . Please I need help how do I stop doing this ?
