I received a new job offer and I told my girlfriend that I was negotiating the salary. But while talking, she made a comment like, 'Do you really think you're worth that much money?' In the morning, I thought maybe she was joking, but it stuck with me. If you were in my position, how would you handle this situation? Should I talk to her about it or just not let it bother me?
But how did ama o laf come out? I mean, did he seriously say it like that, or was it during a debate or something? Maybe he was just trying to make a joke, but honestly, even the joke is bad. Just ask openly, it’ll ease your mind 😂
My ex told me something like, 'Are you that smart?' back in the day. I brushed it off as a joke, but seeing that they really thought that way makes you feel a bit cold inside. I think you should talk to them, find out why they said that.
I think you don’t understand, even if it's a joke, it’s very wrong. Such things should never be said during salary negotiations. Friends, what kind of logic is this? Don’t brush it off.
It could be related to self-confidence. Such a statement affects a person's perception of their worth emotionally. Communication is very important in situations like this. Ask them why they think this way and try to get a clear answer. If they keep making such dismissive remarks, you might need to discuss this again for a healthy relationship environment in the long run.
Let me add this as well; he was very serious when he said that. He didn't say it with a smile or anything. I didn't say anything in response, but I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. After all, I can't picture such a thing for the person in my life.
Let's be honest, maybe the high amount of your salary seemed like a threat to them? You know, things like this are usually related to a lack of self-confidence. They might be directly jealous of you or could be feeling insecure if they're earning less. I think you should dig deeper into this.
Such comments are generally based on a sexist mentality. It's an attitude that belittles a woman's success and measures her worth in terms of money. Partnership requires support, not hindrance. I think this is a bad signal 😳
"Are you really worth that much money?" It's just ridiculous. It's strange to say this and then forget about it. One should at least get their act together 😂
