For context, while I was not working or going to school I was Al still financially stable, for the better half of our relationship I was bringing in more money than him. Not to go too off topic but I had a childhood death in my family that set me up with a hefty amount of life insurance money for about 5 years once I turned 18. I started working just before that money had run out. I browsed school and tried to figure out what I wanted to do in that time but just couldn’t seem to find my calling.

I supported us through him telling me he wanted to quit and completely change his career. He’s now very successful in his new career and he told me he was happy to allow me to figure out my own aspirations and dreams. He encouraged me to do better for myself.
