Just as an additional note, the word anal, as the partner uses it, is accepted "terminology", not just some urban dictionary crap. Based on Freud's theories. merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anal simplypsychology.org/psychosexual.html#collapseFour

I’m in this business to cure my inferiority complex. Making lots of money, working with fortune 500 clients and walking the streets of NYC with a suit, tie and briefcase makes me feel important and worthy.

I often wish I could be like my law school friends who either moved to small towns or have public sector or non profit jobs, wear sweaters and jeans to work and make far less than me, but are happy with their lives, feel a sense of meaning with their work and don’t need external validation.
