Should I break up with my boyfriend for constantly pushing me to be “better”? (Page 2)

Question

I consider myself to be pretty confident and good at making decisions. I trust myself and I am patient and sure that I am doing well. With my background, I have came such a long way and I’m proud of myself for it. I don’t personally smoke, drink, or party regularly and I have been adamantly saving. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 months and I find myself getting irritated by all his suggestions that I “get a better job” or him sending me links to purchase a new car. I appreciate that he wants to push me to “greatness” but I honestly just feel judged. His behavior and insistence on doing “better” only aggravated me because I am doing fine. He strikes me as the kind of guy who is over obsessed with looking like he is doing good in life rather than actually enjoying it. And I think of myself as a practical person. I don’t fix things that work just fine, and I don’t obsess over how I need to be “a better person” every day. I feel like he doesn’t like me for who I am

If it's got so bad that you feel the need to ask strangers, then yeah. Listen to your gut and leave sooner rather than later to save a little heartbreak

That sounds like he's trying to control your life. Your lover should support the things you do.

Sounds like you’re not compatible. You would both be happier with someone else.
