NTA tbh but u should prob be with somebody that has the same priorities as you, otherwise it isn’t fair to the other person

yea a bit cause that’s implying you don’t understand and appreciate your partner, their value and your relationship together. you can totally do both, but it just sounds like you’re not in the space to prioritize both so do your s/o a favor and stop wasting their time and break up with them.

i think you can absolutely give your all to anything your heart desires. it’s really all up to you and in your control, that’s the beauty of life and free will. you can have it all, it’s just a matter of is that what you want for yourself?

i can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not lol 😂 but i digress. if you want a career, an education and a relationship, you can absolutely make all 3 work. if you don’t want a relationship and want to stay locked in on your career and education only, please don’t make another person suffer for your ego. it’s unfair to them if they’re fully invested in you. wishing you all the best, choose wisely, but choose what makes you happiest. just don’t harm others on the path you decide.

you. sn make yourselves both happy. if she’s the right girl and you truly believe it, she’ll be there to support you in your career AND education and i trust you’d do the same for her. that’s the beauty of being in a relationship, you support each other in your endeavors because you love them. you may have different pursuits or interests, but the support and love is what makes things last. i think you can absolutely have it all and if you want it badly, you learn to make it work but it shouldn’t
