Aspiring bar owner chooses her career over controlling boyfriend after he forces her to choose between him and her dream: '"If you take it, we're done"'

In your twenties, it feels like anything is possible. Your dreams of moving to the big city as an aspiring writer, making ends meet as a barista as you pursue your mixology certificate, or bussing tables while you audition for Broadway shows—though far-fetched to some degree—still somehow feel feasible. That's because anything can happen in your twenties. This includes bad things, like getting into relationships that hold you back rather than lift you up. Who needs a human form of baggage? Not me, not you, and definitely not the woman in this next story.

A 22-year-old finds herself in a relationship that weighs heavily on her dream of becoming a bar owner. Her boyfriend attempts to come between her and her work, which is in a male-dominated environment. This jealousy not only pushes her to do more for herself, but also actualizes her boyfriend's controlling behavior. Guess who was offered a promotion? Scroll to read.

What would you do in this situation?
The woman makes what seems like an easy decision. Why would anyone settle for a person who doesn't inspire them? Being stuck in a relationship where your feelings are a second priority is something I wouldn't wish upon anyone; You are not a whole person to them, but rather, an ideal they are trying to squeeze you into. This is not love, nor is it care. It is control. Never give up on your dreams, am I right?
