Question - (4 January 2017) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 January 2017)
A female South Africa age 26-29, anonymous writes:

There is so much going on in my life. I am a 21 year old accounting student who wants to change to law. It is quite depressing especially if i tell my bf (23 years old) of 6 months that because he will be disappointed in me.

My parents already know so they are adjusting to the idea but my bf is a perfectionist when it comes to academics.

He gets straight A's and is proud to call me his future chartered accountant wife. I love him but i am feeling a lot of pressure in this relationship.

Sometimes i want to breakup but end up feeling that i might regret one day. What should I do? I find it hard to communicate with him about these issues.

I've known him for 4 years now but started dating 7 months ago. Thank you in advance.

aunt honesty agony auntThis is your life and your choice. He can be a perfectionist about himself but he has no right in what you want to do with your life, he has no right to be disappointed you are both only dating the last 7 months so it is still early days. If you are scared to tell him about what course you truly want to do then are you sure he is the guy for you? I would want to be with someone who supported my decisions not think badly off them or judge me.

"but my bf is a perfectionist when it comes to academics."

Good for him...So question...Where is he a perfectionist when it comes to your life and how you chose to live it???

Where born for him to tell you what is right or wrong for you?

You love him so much, that you are willing to give up YOUR hopes and dreams to please him??? What are you studying?? "How to make myself unhappy and complain about it".

What should you do??? Simple...If he has a problem with what you want to study...then you can find the perfect man who will enjoy having you as his future Lawyer wife.

Love a man who wants the best for you. Who will lift you up and let shine in no matter what you study. Any man who makes you feel bad about yourself, is not for you.
