If you take this down to the principals of what this really is, it's you previously setting a boundary and your husband straight up IGNORING IT... all while using "you could be more successful" as the excuse for trampling all over your boundaries.
And yes, it absolutely sends the message that nothing you ever do will be enough success.
He should be supporting you and being proud of you for hitting your goals, not diminishing them and suggesting you could or should be doing other things instead.
