She Told Her Boyfriend She’s No Longer Interested In Applying To Medical School As She Planned, So He Replied That He’s Not Sure He Wants To Marry Her Anymore
A young woman met her boyfriend back when she was 20-years-old and he was 21-years-old. From the time that she met her boyfriend, he has always had a well-paying job.
6 years after she began dating him though, he made the jump into the real estate industry, and now he’s incredibly successful.
“I have been very supportive, doing his marketing, social media, supporting him by meeting with clients with him, and been pretty involved,” she explained.
“When I met him, I was in community college. I have changed my degrees and what my career goals a few times but had decided that med school was something I wanted. He was very happy about that idea as he values money and financial stability.”
The final path she picked for herself in college was getting a degree in global health. She figured that would be the perfect precursor to medical school, but then she discovered that she was no longer passionate about the medical industry at all.
She thinks the industry is toxic, and she can’t imagine devoting 6 years of her life to medical school anymore.
So, at the age of 27, she’s not going to be going to medical school as planned, and now she has to create a new goal for herself post-graduation.
As soon as she shared this information with her boyfriend, he said he was worried about “her future.”
“Literally since the day we met, we have talked about getting married, it’s been almost 7 years, and last time I asked him or teases him about it, he said that he’s hesitant because I don’t know what to do as a career,” she said.

“He has clearly expressed this to other people (which I just found out). I’m having a hard time understanding him because I’ve always told him I’d stand by him unconditionally because I love him; even if he wasn’t financially stable, it would more of how do “we” make ends meet more than “I should leave him” I feel like he valued me more when he thought I would go to med school.”
“I’m not saying I’m not going to do anything, I know the quality of life I want, and I know I need to make money to be happy because, unfortunately, I like expensive things and also value financial stability.”
One of the people that her boyfriend has told about her decision to no longer apply to medical school includes his sister.
His sister then turned around and mentioned to her that she really needs to figure out what she wants to do for the rest of her life career-wise prior to them even thinking about marriage.
She’s devoted the last 7 years of her life to her boyfriend, and she can’t believe he’s hitting the brakes on moving their relationship to the next step in light of her not wanting to go to medical school.
She’s left wondering what to think of their relationship. Do you think what her boyfriend said to her is fair?
