3. Making fun of him: “You work so much, and this is how much you make?”
“My girlfriend said ‘How are you that busy when you only make $X.’ It’s true, but it’s irritating when someone else points it out to you,” said a teen. Your boyfriend will be upset if you belittle him for earning a small salary. If it’s obvious that he should get more for what he does, suggest to him that he should change jobs or ask for the raise that he deserves, rather than make fun of him.
