💡 In some cases an insecure guy really dislikes it when his wife appears to be more financially stable or successful than him because he may fear that she can leave him anytime. Such insecure husband, regardless of his age, may feel like an ultimate failure if he sees his wife earning a lot more income than him so he, as a human being prone to making mistakes and wrong choices now and then, may be tempted to do the following at times:
❎ The insecure husband may refrain from complimenting his wife whom he witnesses is more well-off than him just to negatively influence her moods hoping that her negative emotions can have a drastic effect on her overall performance so he can be the more financially stable spouse again and she can depend on him once more. A lot of guys like to feel "needed" or "wanted" like it's a big indicator of their worth/value.
❎ He may secretly get married again, eventually allowing her to find out that he has another legal wife just so she can suffer from intense jealousy, while he desperately wishes that her unsettling emotional state would ruin her overall performance and so he can return to being the spouse whom she's dependent on financially.
❎ The insecure guy gradually acts more distant and aloof, deliberately ignoring her messages, seldom spending quality time with her and doing whatever he can to emotionally destroy his wife whom he envies until she can't take his idiotic acts anymore so she asks for divorce which he won't give until she gives up her halal business so he can be the more financially successful spouse again.
✅ Instead of the wife instantly considering separation, if she truly loves her human husband for Allah's sake ever since she willingly accepted his marriage proposal, she must stay patient with her other half to serve Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and advise her husband, patiently educating him about how he must not see her as a threat or reassuring him that he mustn't fear that she may leave him anytime because she sincerely loves him for Allah's sake. The secure, loyal and confident Muslim wife should avoid:
❎ Acting obnoxiously boastful about her financial success to her husband's face and if ever he seems jealously threatened she should find ways to comfort him and to tone down his insecurities. She must help her sensitive husband realize that her financial success won't stop her from staying loyal to him for Allah's sake.
❎ Behaving too independent as if she can easily ditch him whenever she likes. A good Muslim wife should be humble enough to make her husband feel as if he really is the leader of their household and that she genuinely respects him for trying his best to be a hardworking provider etc.
❎ Frequently and needlessly saying positive remarks about non-mahram men in his presence, particularly any of his brothers, or more financially thriving entrepreneurs and professionals because an insecure guy would typically feel worse when others' successes remind him of his setbacks or shortcomings.
There's no point in divorcing an insecure guy if the woman may remarry another guy who could be more insecure than the previous spouse.
