Business Insider UK spoke to Matthew Hussey, dating expert at howtogettheguy.com and howtogettheguy.com/blog and author of New York Times bestseller "Get the Guy," about how to date someone more successful than you.
Here's a transcript of the video:
The key to dating someone more successful than you is to understand that just because they may earn more, it doesn't make their purpose any more important than yours.
We too often minimise our own purpose because we compare our earnings to somebody else.
What we have to realise is: somebody may earn more but our time is just as precious.
There's two things to remember:
1. Don't allow their success to become an excuse for bad behaviour. If they are never giving you time, if they are never giving you energy, them being successful doesn't excuse things that otherwise would be a problem in a relationship.
2. Don't drop the things that are important to you simply because your partner is more financially successful than you.
