Boyfriend is selfish or needy or both!!

[KM092469]

Hi,
I chose to get certified in hypnotherapy back in September and I told the boyfriend before I even applied that I was doing this and that I would be busy in live class every Wednesday evening for 10 weeks and then the following 2 weeks after that I'd be in testing, I even gave him the dates and the times so that he was fully aware. I just finished up the classes and we have a week off until my testing starts. He has been giving me issues for the last two weeks, saying this is so very hard on him because he hardly sees me, yada, yada, yada. Now mind you, I work 9 hours a day 5 days a week, have a house to take care of and a daughter that lives with me. I barely had time to study and do my coursework but its hard on HIM because he doesn't get to see me much, which I thoroughly warned him about. He was crying to me the other day that I am pushing him away, like seriously? This is so beyond ridiculous that I had to vent LOL! I was seeing him still on the weekends but now I am basically in hermit mode studying and getting ready for this intense training/certification to start. This is so important to me that I don't need to worry about a man child right now. Am I wrong? Am I being too mean? Because I just don't get it. It's not like he is never going to see me again.

Id be careful to watch out for him using that to try and make you choose between him and your future career. Seems like he’s trying to emotionally manipulate you but don’t fall for it. You’re doing your course and working your ass off for you and your daughter, don’t give up x

To be honest it does sound like you just don't have time for a boyfriend. A live in partner is different but a boyfriend you do kind of have to make time for.

Oh God, it'll only get worse, not to sound awful, but this is when some men start seeing as this as a green light to have affairs, because the GF or Wife just doesn't have time for me anymore. Not that I'm saying he will, but just a little side note. You're doing something for yourself, something you enjoy and you're working hard on. And the course is almost ending, you gave him full notice, why is he even complaing now anyway???? Tell him to stop being a weeny about it!!!

You could be right, but I was making time for him prior to this certification process.

Thank you!! I am almost done!! 2 more weeks.

that's what I told him, "why are you even complaining now?" I'm almost done! ugh...Yep, and if he cheats, so be it, that means he isn't the man for me.

You actually don't sound like you particularly like or care about him anyway, so why not cut your losses?

I agree with this. You don't seem bothered about spending time with him, so may be best to not waste any more of your or his time.

No, I do care about him a lot, I'm just aggravated with him right now. I was clear before I started this course that I would need my spare time to study and attend online classes, he backed me 100 percent, now that it's here, he is acting like a man child. It's very off putting. Only a few more weeks to go and I will graduate. But, I don't think I am the woman for him and vice versa. This I guess has brought all of this to light. Thanks for your responses.
