Am I the bad guy for breaking up with my girlfriend because she’s “too successful” for me?

What do you guys think? Personally, I think he's using her success as an excuse to get out of a relationship he's clearly uncomfortable with. Anyone who puts themselves down to lift a loved one clearly has work to do on themselves. If somebody loves you, they're not going to think about the ways they are "better than you." Your friends who make more money than you are not secretly wishing that they didn't have you as a friend because you're not "up to snuff," and if they do, it's because they're not good friends. The same thing goes for relationships. If you're constantly keeping score about who is contributing sufficiently to your relationship, your problems are much deeper than the thingsyou'ree micromanaging your partner about.

And the worst thing is, nothing is holding him back from being more successful than he is now! He can't turn back time and do everything his partner does, but he could make changes today that would positively contribute to his success as a professional. He's not going to do it. He'd rather sulk and pity himself than try to be the man he thinks his girlfriend deserves.
50+ years ago, women didn't always have the choice to have careers. They were pressured by society and their families to stay home and take care of their children. No societal pressures or forces are keeping this guy from thriving in the workplace, yet here he is complaining that his girlfriend is more successful than he is.
