You&`&re expecting criticism from the comments section today ... and you&`&ll probably get a lot of it. Your letter suggests that you want your girlfriend to be a perfect, evolved partner right now. You want her to be a finished product at 26. That&`&s a big ask – especially when you know the exact reason she&`&s on a specific path: "Like so many people in our generation, she has to stay at a job that pays decently well to pay off her student loans, rather than a job that&`&s more in line with her social justice orientation."
Your girlfriend might want some stability and money right now, but that doesn&`&t mean she won&`&t seek change or take some risks with her career. She might decide she wants a day job that allows her to volunteer. There are so many ways to be a person who cares about the world. Give her time to get there. Also know that your own path might change. The point is to experience this growth together.
If you have reason to believe that your girlfriend is unhappy, you can talk about that. Just remember that the conversation will be about her, not you. Also know that she might be getting a lot out of this job. All work is an education. Do not belittle what she does or assume it isn&`&t important.
You say you&`&re teaching kids how to develop empathy. You could use some more of that right now. Consider what you need from her and why, and remember that she&`&s a lot more than a résumé.
– Meredith
