Personally, I don’t think the woman is lying; I think it’s too hard for her to confront her wishes because she postponed them for so many years. It would take some real grief to pursue them now, knowing she will fulfill them when she is much older than she would like, and many other things that arise with going after them. Sometimes those confrontations are way scarier than we’d like to admit, and we’d rather keep the possibility alive than to really go after it. On the other hand, the boyfriend has a right to make plans that are not delusion-based, and should defend that, and if that means setting a boundary with his partner’s excuses, he should go for it. Maybe they go their separate ways, and his ex-partner finally goes after her dreams, or maybe she finds another excuse to postpone them, but he can protect his own projects. Or do you think that staying together is healthier than that?
