Your feelings are valid but the opposite view is also perfectly reasonable.

I would be proud of my wife for being so successful (or, I would have been while I was still alive).

There’s no shame in being in your partner’s shadow. It should be a source of pride and enjoyment instead.

To take an extreme example, look at Dolly Parton and her completely not-a-celebrity husband. Do you think that Dolly Parton’s husband is embarrassed that he isn’t famous or that he’s just thrilled to be married to Dolly Parton?

This is literally the first I've ever considered that fact that Dolly Parton might have a husband. She's such an icon that she practically transcends such mortal trivialities.

Apparently he owned a paving company and has never, ever wanted to be even remotely famous. IIRC, she said he really did eye a pretty redhead at the bank when they were first married, but it was a nothingburger, and she had to make up the name and mine her own psyche pretty deep to come up with the insecurity of the speaker in Jolene.
