What should I do?

My boyfriend wants me to start coding and take over his old job. I dont know anytging about coding. He said im just "making excuses to not put in effort or take risks". I have a decent job that I like... the other one just pays better. Hes making me feel like shit for not wanting to take the other job.

@Iloveoceans What if she loses her job where she's happy and hates coding.

What if someone told you to stop doing something you're happy doing, because they want you richer? Suppose you were an artist...sell a few pieces....enough to keep a roof over your head and food on the table, but not getting the big bucks yet, so someone comes along and tells you to give it up and become a plumber because that's where the money is? Would you do it?

@Serenitree we don't know what their priorities are..i just told her to give try..your opinion is also true..what i mean to say is may be she can spent evenings in the free time to learn coding for couple of weeks or months(without leaving current job)..if she is able to cope up then its ok if not she can tell her boy friend that she i not able make it.(without leaving current job..may be if both the couple are on the same field they can help each other unless they have strong dedication towards their job

@Iloveoceans I'm sorry. I feel you need to reread what she wrote. She gave it a try. Do you not understand that she has told him? She Didn't like it. She doesn't want to cope. She likes her job. Hates coding. Read all of her responses to others. She has made it clear. She spoke to him about it and he makes her feel like she's not good enough unless she does what he wants. Please read her last sentence once more.
