Relationship Advice?

As far as the quarrel goes, let it go. He apologized.Why drag it out longer?
I’d have more of a problem with his intrusive father and your boyfriend’s lack of support.
How you tell the two of them that it is your choice as to what you’re going to do career wise is up to you.
If after that, they insist on making weird comments, tell them to mind their own business and tell your boyfriend to grow a set if he’s afraid to shut his dad down.
Frankly, unless things change with the Bf, I’d be gone
Good luck whatever you decide. :)

Like @lucillelucillelucille said, I could blow off the comment-once, but it would be hurtful.

If he and his family have a problem with you going into teaching, be it a low wage position or not, that’s a different story.

Is all this over you two having a secure future together? So the less you make, your husband would have to make up the difference so you’d have a good quality of life? I’d really start asking my boyfriend some hard questions and get to the bottom of it.

I hate to say it, but it’s really your boyfriend’s place to get his dad to back off you, it’s his family not yours. They don’t pay your bills, they don’t get a say, that’s my thoughts.

Well. Communication, is a key in any relationship.
Talk to him about how this situation bothered you, and why…

Have a conversation. Listen to his point of view, as well as presenting your’s.

Go from there…

@Grimmy Wonder why the dad is on her case?

^Maybe he’s a good father.

Or. He’s overstepping…

Keep in mind that men are just children at heart. If you can understand the thought processes of a 6 year old boy, you should have no problem understanding how a man thinks.
Remember this: “The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.”
LITERALLY!!!

You have a situation at hand and am glad you’re seeking advice before making a decision. It shows how much you want the bet from this relationship. Now, the fact that you indicated that your boyfriend may have been going through a ruff time when he said those things, yet he apologized. That’s a good sign that he is willing to make things work between you two. Just remember that every good relationship will have challenges but what makes them last, is how much both persons can resolve situations and how they are resolved. Concerning school and your education, i would wait until you’re alone with your boyfriend then express how you feel about the situation. Just to see how he responds without his dad there. Sometimes, we respond to persons a certain way because we are in front of certain persons. However, based on what he says to you should determine what move you should make. Hey, once you love a particular career regardless of the pay, go ahead because a lot of persons who are making millions now are suffering every day because they are doing things they have no passion for and it’s killing them softly each day.
