My husband isn't ever happy for things that happen for me...we are young and he is a very successful athlete at a university. He is known in his sport and I have always been supportive of him! I am so happy for him when he does good and ask how practice is...I travel to a lot of his games as well... But when something cool happens for me he isn't excited, like he will just be like.."oh, cool..." and just change the subject. This is for everything...job, contest, projects, compliments people give me, promotions, anything good for me. Like, he makes me feel like he is sooo much better than me and my accomplishments are nothing. I mean why can't he let me be happy!? I have been so supportive for so long, I'm almost about to say, go get someone you think is good enough for you, because the way you treat me isn't right...What do you think?? It's like he wants me to think I'm worthless...which is tells me a lot!

No dear, it sounds like you're reading to much into it. You sound like his acknowledgment is not enough to make you feel whole. In the other hand having a positive constructive conversation with him may reassure you that he thinks the world of you.
I bet you a $100.00 bucks that your husband thinks the world of you. If I was in your shoe's I would stop looking for myself in him. Remember everyone is different and not every body share the same excitement when they hear good news. Some people hear exciting news but they project content.
1.Ask him I'm I enough for you?
2.Do my success satisfy you?

Well, maybe you need to remind him that it is just a university not the NFL. Besides if he can not be happy for you then tell him to lay off the steroids and think for himself. Or The NBA which ever sport he plays. But if he'sike this now time will not change who he really is.

he seems to be an insecure person. he could have some napoleon complex... i dont know. but talk to him about it. see what he says abot what he feels about it. but be careful. when criticizing someone, u have to be careful of what u say because people will get defensive and just turn the topic down. start with "I feel... I think..." not "you are...." get it?

His actions are telling you what you need to know, all you need to do now is act on what you want to do with that.
If you can't see yourself putting up with this and this is just who he is, then it's up to your gut feelings.

Egotistical people always think everything should be about them. Burst his ego.
