    Me more successful than my husband
    I am working as an AVP of a call center and my husband is working as a manager in an export house I am more exposed than him... and at times it becomes frustrating to handle the pressure[from society,friends,etc. etc.]... although he is a very loving and caring husband... but at times I feel that he is drifted away from me and wants to run away from me when we both go to attend any social functions and gatherings... how should I make him comfortable[ in case I realise my official status is making him jealous]

    I am not use what "official status" you are talking about, I will assume this is some culture outside of the USA or Canada, since it is not unheard of for women to earn more money and actually working at a call center in the US is often looked as as a lot less status as a person working for a export house. So I guess culture and location has a lot to do with it.

    But for example, while I am actually fairly well known for my postings here and for my expert status on Yahoo answers, and I actually get people who know me when we go places, my wife is much more well known at least regionally because of her music. I am referred to at times as "MR TONI" when people introduce me at her music events, I even say it myself sometimes now a days,

    I think she was referring to her being a Vice President of one company and her husband is only a Manager... he probably feels that his position, while I'm sure important, is not a well paying as being a VP. I don't know what you can do to make him feel better if he is feeling uncomfortable about this, it's common for women to make more than men sometimes so this is sort of his problem but try talking to him about it.
