Ik it’s been stressful for him but he literally says a different plan as if he’s definitely going to do it like all the time and then doesn’t do it and I feel like I’m being dragged along and getting whiplash imagining which future I’m gonna have with him and I’ve told him that I feel this way when he switches up and can’t decide and he gets really mad and says I’m making him feel the lowest he’s ever felt
Also he feels like I’ve been pushing him towards law school for years which I kinda have I mean he applied and got rejected and has said he was gonna apply again and changed his mind multiple times and this might make me sound like an asshole fr but think I just was raised with money and security and I always wanted my spouse to have a good job that makes money now that isn’t the only factor but to me that’s something people should consider and my bf disagrees
So basically I just feel like he’s always saying things and not going through with them in other areas too like one day he said he wants to marry me rn and the next day he said he wants us to break up and it hurt his feelings a lot that I accuse him of being inconsistent and am I am asshole for all of this
Id tell him how much it stresses you for the future of both of you and kids if that’s something you’re planning for. Ask him if maybe he could talk to an advisor. Tell him you’ll go with him if he doesn’t want to go alone but definitely don’t force him to let you come with if he doesn’t want you too. And I’d talk to a couple close family members for advice.
So lowkey. Ik he’s your bf, but this doesn’t affect you. If his life crumbles, it doesn’t affect you. If he switches his mind all the time, not your problem. Sometimes people have to do some “risky/crazy” things to end up where they’re supposed to be. Sometimes it’s horse hockey and it fumbles hard. Not your problem at the bf stage. Sometimes worrying too much about someone and parenting them the way you were parented isn’t the answer. I left a long term doing that bc it drained me.
Definitely nta Do not marry someone or get engaged to someone who is inconsistent constantly in any type of way that matters to you. Let's say yall get married, he still hasn't chosen a path. He doesn't have a job because he can't stick to anything and you are providing for the both of yall. Was this the life you imagined after the honeymoon? And then if yall get the divorced you take some of his debt with you depending on the situation. Figure out what you need and he can't give, then...
And maybe I go about it wrong honestly because I get really confused by how he’s always changing his mind and it makes me seem like I’m attacking him I feel like an asshole who has ruined our relationship now but I also feel like I’m kinda maybe justified for feeling this way but idk
This probably isn’t 100% applicable to your situation bc idk you, but whatever happens, just make sure you’re okay and you have your bearings. Some paths are different than others. Support externally and be there for him but don’t give all your energy worrying about his path. He’ll find it eventually. Maybe wouldn’t hurt if the a school has a career services/academic services program that could talk to him about what he wants in life. Good luck ❤️
