Girlfriend wants to quit her job

[Anonymous]

If she ‘needs a break’ at 30 with no kids then she’s going to be a serious liability when life actually gets tough.

We don't know that. Don't jump to conclusions.

OP, this is unacceptable. She needs to work or go to school in order to get a degree is something she prefers so she can go back to work.

She doesn't want to work. You are her ticket. I'm thinking there might be an imbalance of power here, with her having more--for whatever reason.

I'm glad you didn't handle it well. She needs to know out of the gate that she isn't getting a free ride.

30? Clearly 1st choice career is not working out for her and now back to school to try again?
Most responsible adults take on 2nd degrees while maintaining usu work schedule and income. In fact, many employers will pay some portion of tuition.
Lots of alarms going off

Agree with this.

OP here. Her parents are retired and live in another state. We are both grown adults. She’s 30.

I did intend to marry her but this has made me question if she’s the right partner for me.

You are in the driver's seat here, OP. The good news is she showed you who she. Now, believe her.

Advise her to talk to a career counselor to sort herself out and have a concrete plan before quitting.

Bad idea when you will not marry her.

OP here. She isn’t depressed. She deals with some chronic pain issues stemming from am injury. She likes her career but it is a demanding job. She wanted to advance her degree and has decided it’s too much for her. I think she should get a less labor intensive job.

OP here. We have been together for 2 years. No drugs or drinking. We don’t plan on having kids.

Of course not she's a permanent child.
