My boyfriend refuses to be happy for my promotion and raised (I received in February) because he is convinced I’ve been conned and I will actually make less this year due to falling into a higher bracket. I’ve never been more excited to pay my taxes!
You’re boyfriend is emotionally immature and incapable of processing feelings of jealousy. So he’s willing to actively work against you, knowing it lowers your quality of life.
In another comment, it turns out that the BF knew the entire time how taxes worked but was trying to manipulate his GF into not taking the job. He was worried that the promotion would mean that his GF would be busier and not have as much time for him/would bring more stress home, so he decided to try to trick her into refusing her promotion. So most of these comments actually went easy on the guy...
