How would you feel if your partner wanted a career that you didn’t want him to have

When I saw the title I thought we'd be talking about something potentially dangerous like police/fire or something that meant he'd be away a lot like a pilot...not a sodding 'famous rapper'! It's funny but pretty tragic with it. The advice of 'leave him' gets bandied about far too readily on here but he does sound like a total waste of space.

If he's been unfaithful I wouldn't be particular angst ridden about his "dream". You probably had a dream, one that involved a nice bloke who didn't sleep with other women or tell you to leave. He failed to achieve that dream too. Let him practice his art in his own shower, in his own flat, completely by himself.

I’m sorry to use ChatGPT in a flippant, resource-wasting way, but sometimes it comes up with the perfect answer 😌🎤

You talk big bars, but you live off lies,
Claim you on the come-up, but I don’t see the rise.
While you chase groupies, I was holding you down,
Now you just another mixtape nobody found.

You said “don’t like it? Leave!,” and you stay off beat,
Can’t stay faithful, can’t stay making rent or heat.
I’m the realest verse you’ll never get back,
I evolved - meanwhile you still blaming the track.
Mic check: I’m gone, no encore, no plea,
I’m platinum in real life, you SoundCloud-free. 🔥

In fact "if your partner was a juvenile, sexist twat who was openly unfaithful to you"?

I know that I'd tell him to get fucked and build a happier family life for myself and my DD without him. But your call.

‘If you don’t like it, leave’

he is hardly fighting for you is he

We’ve had a really up and down relationship, he’s been unfaithful to me in the past and mean and is very ‘me me me’ sometimes.

What with that and the misogynistic lyrics, why the effin' hell are you with him? 🤷
Jesus H effing Christ!

I work in the music industry. I’ve met hundreds of men like him. Trust me, there is a greater chance of Trump declaring he was born a woman than him becoming famous. I would suggest you take his advice and leave, he sounds an utter dick.

I think you’ve answered your own question there. Sorry but he’s pathetic. He is not going to be a ‘famous rapper’. Walk out.

He’s not going to be a famous rapper. This is not the problem. (Clue: he’s a cheating twit).

Can he actually rap? Has he ever done anything to try and make a go of it?

Honestly, I would find this hilarious and ridiculous, unless he is actually the new Eminem....

Well, he's not going to have a career as a famous rapper, is he? So your dilemma is actually "How would you feel if your partner was a juvenile, sexist twat?"

I think the problem is he’s been unfaithful. Songs can just be for entertainment but it does seem to say something about his state of mind from what you’re saying.

Does he have a normal job? I think it’s fine to have dreams but if you have a family you have to put them first.

Well YABVU to stay with someone who cheats and is horrible to you. I’d be less interested in his pipe dream than his past and current shitty behaviour and disrespect. Don’t you think you deserve better? If your daughter was dating someone like him in future would you be pleased for her or a bit revolted?

We’ve had a really up and down relationship, he’s been unfaithful to me in the past and mean and is very ‘me me me’ sometimes.

Just dump him. He's not going to be famous and he sounds dreadful! It takes more than shouting shit about women to be a rapper. He's getting on a bit in years, too, to make it in the music industry.
