According to this article in USA Today, "women earn about 60% of all bachelor's degrees, get better grades than their male peers and have even regained all the jobs they lost during the Great Recession." So perhaps it is no wonder than relationships can be strained - even disintegrate - as a result. There are many interesting questions to ponder here: Is there a direct correlation between a person's professional goals and their relationships, as one student suggests? Is it really more difficult for men to see their partners succeed at a higher rate? How closely linked are ambition and romance?
I don't believe this is exactly new news, but as women become more and more successful, perhaps it is more and more of a problem. Many books and articles I've read over the last few years seem to suggest that is true. So what, if anything, can be done about it? It's good food for thought.
