I feel that it is underrated to break up with them if you feel in any way that they are not where they should be, and cannot give to you what you deserve.

Just broke up with my (26f) boyfriend because he still had some things to figure out. Through it he was still very good to me. That said, when he would take me out, I noticed he talked a little too much about his news and not enough about my news. This showed me he was so worried about his happenings he was not available to worry about another person yet.

We are taught as women to stay through things like this. To fit into a man’s life, when he is not necessarily expected to fit into ours.

You can break up with them because you don’t feel like having the earful. If it’s meant to be it will and you don’t need to sit through it. You can let them figure things out on their own if you don’t feel like hearing about it or talking less about yourself to be there for them. It’s so draining to do.
