I fully agree about never sacrificing education for a SO. However, I value experience just as much as education and having an opportunity to build on my experience is definitely one that I do not want to give up. I have full intention to go back to school and complete my remaining two semesters but gaining more work experience prior to graduation would definitely be a great opportunity. I'm not going to lie and say that my BF doesn't play a part in me wanting to stay in the internship but if it was a shitty internship, I wouldn't be sticking around for it.

My wording may come off as a little weird but my BF has always been someone who has seen relationships as two people complementing one another rather than completing each other. This is essentially what he was saying, trying to point out that we should be focusing on our own development more than we do on each other. Whereas, I am someone who will want to focus on the relationship as much as I focus on myself.
