Men; enemies of successful women!

I wonder how he feels... I wonder what triggered him to say what he said...
Am I that provocative? Am I the cause of his depression...
He blamed me... indirectly for being successful, for earning money and for spending it... Although there is no way that he could be jealous of me, he still accused me of being inconsiderate of the situation we're in... He accused me of something I cant explain... He accused me of being good, polite, obedient, caring, and spending what I earn on myself and my family...
I found those accusations so out of place, but I figured out that he is not happy about the fact that I'm successful (somehow)...
Do all men fear successful women? Do all men feel like a successful woman is a threat? Do all men feel jealousy towards their successful female partners? Are all men like him?
And if so, should I just not be successful in order to satisfy all men in my life? Should I forgoe my dream of becoming a professor because then, I wouldnt be able to find a husband who would accept to marry a woman who has a good career? should I be ignorant to secure having a partner and a family? Is being successful something provocative to the opposite sex? And is that a natural thing?
I am a very down to earth person... I never show off and Im never snobby... What the is provocative about me? Why did he say that today when all I did was care and help? And why does the other always tell me that I'm "over qualified" for him?
I asked a guy friend and he was like "thats the nature of males and females"... He told me that jealousy exists even between the same sex. And because men are the ones responsible for the financial obligations of the home, he is always expected to be more successful and earn more than his wife does... Accordingly, the opposite is not really appreciated and creates jealousy and tention between partners... He also told me that women wouldnt respect their husbands if they r not successful and satisfying the financial needs of the family...
I thought life was much simpler than this... I also thought that relationships (in all their forms and kinds) were alot more fun... But they are not... and it turns out that men are enemies of successful women...
