If you were fat or denying him sex he wouldn't give a damn about your "professional wins".
I call BS. No matter how in shape I get or how much we have sex, my DH constantly complains I’m not as professionally advanced as him. No sh*t I’m not, he’s almost 10 years older than me.

If he had to give something up, it would no doubt be my job before looks/sex. Just a deeply & perhaps fundamental gender difference I guess...

Not BS. If you were fat or denying him sex, I guarantee you he'd care about that much, much more than your "professional advancement". But he wouldn't stop constantly complaining, it would just be about the lack of sex instead.
To be honest, I have never met a man who says anything about his wife's "professional advancement".
Totally agree. I don’t know any happily married men I work with talking about professional attainment of their wives. I call troll doing some reverse psychology.

NP. That's totally not my experience. What kind of job do you work in? In my workplaces I have heard many men over the years talk about the professional achievements of their wives. Often it's actually quite sweet. I don't mean they up and brag, it's casual conversation, but it's clear they are quite proud. I remember a recent conversation in which one husband talked about how he was going to be out because his wife had been nominated for a big award and he was clearly just pleased as punch. He was joking about how he was going to be the arm candy for the night.
I don't know anything about the detailed state of their marriages, of course, as that would probably veer into inappropriate content, but I've worked in male-dominated, hard-driving environments for years, and absolutely men talk about the achievements of their wives.

This balance lets her know who much I am attracted to her but also keeps her on her toes knowing that I find other women attractive too.
