AITAH for not wanting to give up my dream job just because my boyfriend can’t handle it?
I recently got my dream job offer, something I’ve been working towards for years. It requires me to travel a lot, sometimes for weeks at a time, but it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted. My boyfriend, however, isn’t happy about it. He says that me being gone so often will ruin our relationship and that I should turn it down to focus on “us.”
We’ve been together for three years, and I love him, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When I told him I was going to take the job, he got really upset and said if I cared about our future, I wouldn’t be making this choice. Now he’s giving me the cold shoulder, and I feel torn between my career and my relationship.
My friends are divided—some say I should follow my dreams, others say relationships require sacrifices. I’m struggling with guilt, but also don’t want to give up something so important to me. Am I the asshole for choosing my dream job over my boyfriend?
