Breaking up with perfect boyfriend due to differing career paths

I'm struggling with resentment towards my boyfriend's lack of ambition and investment in personal growth, which is hindering my own opportunities

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had recognized these differences earlier and communicated them more effectively"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't settle for a relationship that doesn't align with your long-term goals and aspirations"
