I had a really long argument with my boyfriend of twenty years tonight.
He's a writer. He's trying to develop a new style of writing and I told him that he is terrible at it apparently a half a dozen times today although I only recall telling him jokingly once. I believe him though. We've had a really long relationship. I'm thinking about maybe seriously leaving him. I don't know. I love him but he's smarter than me and a lot smarter and that bothers me a lot. He says that if he were me he'd take it to his advantage. His best friend is moving in next door in August too. He's extremely smart as well. And then there's his friend who is also MENSA smart. I don't know. I want a simple life. My boyfriend wants me to be What I'm meant to be says him, an artist. I am very creative but I don't know that i want that for my life. Like I said I want a simple life. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for sharing your concern.
 What I can offer, with regard to this, is simply that trying to live your life according to how other people think you should live it is a recipe for ongoing unhappiness in my opinion.  I know sometimes it can be difficult to strike out on your own & start over. But, if you're up for it, it may be for the best in the long run.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
