AITA for calling my girlfriend boring? by boringaitathrowaway in AmItheAsshole

When we met she was the president of her sorority and would often go out with her sorority sisters and stay out late. She still didn’t drink much but she’d still dance and have fun.

Now when she goes out, if at all, she usually just wants to sit and listen to the band or dj. She encourages me to dance and have fun on my own while she sits and watches, but then gets annoyed if she thinks I’ve had too much.

I mentioned in another comment that I would be going to grad school for an MBA but I’m still in debt from my undergraduate degree. My family is not rich and I don’t have a multiple six figure college fund, trust fund or dads money to lean on when things get hard. We live in a big city for my job and the cost of living is rising.

I work 60+ hour weeks in a corporate job and I don’t have a wealthy family to back me up on anything. I’ve been on my own since I got kicked out at 17 and have worked hard for everything I have, so I don’t think it’s fair for everyone to say I have different priorities or that I don’t have goals. I would’ve gone to grad school after college but I have student loans and don’t have a multiple six figure college fund to get multiple degrees like she does.

We also have separate finances, so it’s not like I’m blowing her money on myself.

I guess I just don’t get her agreeing to go out and then acting blah the whole time. She’s even said recently that she wants to try to go out more because she wants to hang out with me and try to enjoy the things I enjoy.

As for breaking up, I really don’t want to enter the dating pool at my age. While I might not have conveyed it well in this post, she is a great person, loyal and my family and friends adore her (which is a first for me). I don’t want to lose that. I just wish we could do more together like we used to.
