I couldn\u2019t bring myself to read the message. I already knew what it would say\u2014another round of accusations, more jealousy, more attempts to make me feel guilty for my career. My fianc\u00e9 had been this way for the past few months, ever since I started booking bikini shoots.<\/p>\n<p>At first, it was subtle comments\u2014little digs about how much skin I was showing, or how other people might see me. But as my career grew, so did his resentment. Today, I had wrapped up a shoot with a prestigious agency, and instead of feeling proud, I felt anxious, knowing he would react poorly. He never saw the success, only the jealousy.<\/p>\n<p>I had always tried to balance my career and my relationship, but lately, the scale was tipping in a way that wasn\u2019t healthy. I had worked so hard to get where I am, and I loved modeling with every part of me. But with each argument, I felt like I was losing myself a little more.<\/p>\n<p>My phone buzzed again. I stared at it, then finally picked it up. His message was exactly what I expected\u2014another jealous rant. As I read through it, I realized I was tired. Tired of defending myself, tired of compromising who I was. I couldn\u2019t keep choosing between him and my dreams.<\/p>\n<p>So, I made the choice. I typed back: \u201cI can\u2019t keep sacrificing my career for your jealousy. I\u2019m choosing myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1728647712114\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized\" style=\"top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 740px; height: 920.885px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"6\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sat on the edge of my bed, my phone buzzing beside me.
