Would you end things?

Recently staring a career has been weighing heavy on me, I am 25. With 4 kids, I started looking into becoming a police officer but my boyfriend says he doesn’t know if he could date a police officer, he has a small record mainly misdemeanors which were prior to us dating, but I don’t know what any of that have has to do with me working to provide for my family. We have 2 kids together an I’m currently a home health aid, but it doesn’t give financial freedom or the ability to not live paycheck to paycheck I want more for my family and I feel this would be great for us.

But I also can’t see myself being with someone who can’t support that, am I wrong for choosing my career over my relationship?
