My bf and I have been dating for 4 years now. I am currently unemployed and recently decided that I wanted to try to be a lifeguard. Once I told my boyfriend he was automatically so against it. He said that if I took the job he would end up leaving me. His reasoning being he doesn’t want people to see me in a one piece. I don’t know what to do I don’t want to lose him but I really wanna be a lifeguard. What do I do? I need advice.

Update: we decided on a compromise and that is that I would wear shorts.
