Bf said he will dump me if I don't change my A level subjects?

dump his ass- at uni there'll be guys who are handsome, funny AND smart

did he do an A level in plumbing?

If he's leveraging your relationship like that, that's a huge red flag. At such a young age, the vast majority of relationships just will not last, so it would be a real shame to potentially change courses in life to invest in something that realistically isn't worth investing in. By all means, commit somewhat - but there's a point at which one can commit too much for it to be safe, sensible and sane. That point is much lower the younger you are.

TL;DR: Don't change - if he can't accept, dump

I could go more into the ethos of this and in greater detail about why I think he's doing something tremendously toxic, but I won't unless asked. I hope whatever decision you make works out for you. Feel free to ask if you want more armchair psychologist advice ;p

This can’t be real...right?

Don't let someone throw your plans off course because they don't understand how the system works - if he really plans to break up with you if you don't sacrifice another two years of your life changing for him, then you've had a lucky break if anything!

This can't be for real!! Anyone taking A levels now knows that there is no way you could change so late in the game!! And who in their right mind would consider it??

Is this genuine? If so then yes dump him, you do the subjects you want for the career that suits you - not someone else! If you wanted to do nursing you'd have applied for that, yes?

Trueeee!!!!!



Lol it's like an apprenticeship Level 3 thing actually quite good though



That's really helped clear my mind thanks so much it is true, if he acts like that now what will be do in 10 years maybe ? :/ he is usually 100% of time perfect though, gentleman and kind, maybe he is scared I am a little smarter than him? he didn't even do GCSEs :/

Egsately!!! if I wanted to do nursing I'd apply for that, I like research in the lab he doesn't understand, he thinks I'm going to be a chemist on the high street!!!!

He has never done A Levels so of course I know you can't do that, that's what I said to him but he claimed he knows people who has changed a levels in summer holiday before uni!!!!!! I do love him though what should I do ? Can I move him into uni with me and sneak him into lectures? Thanks

Hiya I'm doing Chemistry, Classical Civ and French at A Level, dropped Maths and Biology at AS and have 4 offers to do Pharmacology at uni

My bf of 3 months asks why does a pharmacist need to speak French or know about 'old ancient people'?

I tried explaining that's not the point of A levels, and they're transferable skills to show essay writing and academic potential and interest blah blah and im not going to be a pharmacist.. that would be a pharmacy degree and not pharmacology lol

he is 20 and is a student plumber at college

Anyway, he said if I don't change my subjects to something like Art or Drama or he 'will settle for nursing a level' (no such even thing?) then he thinks we are not going to work out and maybe go our separate ways

i said it's too late to change a levels, I get my results soon and will be going to uni in September but he says that isn't true and he knows people who change right before uni ???? none of his friends have been to uni. I think he is confusing changing a levels with changing degree course

1) Is it too late to change? Will I get good grades if I change to Drama, Art and Biology (I took bio at AS) and do nursing at uni? Can I apply for this September start?

2) should I just dump him? I do really like him and he is so lovely usually and is handsome and funny what can I say to explain to him this is the right course for me

Thanks
