I'm 21 years old and my boyfriend and I have been together for about 10 months now. We decided to move in together about 8 weeks ago and it's a decision I don't regret. We have a strong relationship; I love and trust him, as I believe he loves and trusts me. My problem: He's a struggling musician who's trying to break into the recording industry. He has connections with a studio and is recording as often as he can, while trying to be as available for networking as he can be. Most of his hours though are evenings and late into early morning. I am so proud of him and his progress, (as he's been working on this album for about a year now) but can't help but feel left out of the sequence. I dropped out of college last year and have been working full-time. I love the company and the people I work with, but don't love the idea of staying there long term, as it's not something I feel real passionate about. With work becoming more monotonous and my boyfriend's career becoming more demanding, I'm finding myself more alone and unhappy as ever. I love that his love for music is something he's pursuing and I don't want to break up with him as I truly believe he is "the one" for me. But the more time he devotes to his love for music the more lost I feel. I'm stuck in this world where I don't feel like I have or do anything for myself. How do I get myself out of this slump?

I would like to ask you - does he have a day job or income where he's contributing equally to the living expenses? My concern here is, he's using your income to finance his music career. I think it's very normal for you to feel lost like this since you're both on completely different scheduales, plus his might seem more exciting since it's the entertainment industry and he's trying to achieve success where you feel stuck in a, not so satisfying job. Please don't let him use your money for his career. I don't know if there are better options for you job wise. It's also important for you to have your own friends to socialize with when he busy working late. Good luck to you both, Bella
