Being more successful than your man

Hi Harper250!

Okay, It's really important for you to be careful here, because I hear one reason a lot of men won't date or leave women (aside from money and infidelity) is because they cannot stand to see a woman more successful than him!

It's especially a point because many men from Egypt are traditional and believe it's their job to lead and care for a woman.
