Input: 
I’ve been going out with a very nice guy for a while. When we first met he introduced himself as a «Musician/artist » and he told me all about his dreams of making it in the music industry.  Not knowing much about him at the time, I was polite and I told him how great it was for him to firmly believe in his dreams. 

Over the next few dates he would play some of his music,  it was very basic electronic music with very few unimpressive vocals, the type anyone can produce at home on a laptop. I later went and checked all the music he posted on different platforms and they all had very few following aside from some kind words from his friends.  Nevertheless I was still nice and didn’t make any remarks about it.

We were starting to get closer, and one afternoon we decided to meet up for coffee. The whole time he complained about his job, ( he worked as a server, but always said it was a part time temporary thing, even though that’s all he done his entire life). He complained about not being able to make ends meet , and having debt he should repay. He also recently had to move from his apartment to a basement because he couldn’t keep up with the expenses. 

That was when I, a very honest and objective person decided to dish it out for him. I started off by asking him about his career plans, and when he started to talk about the music, I interrupted him and said, « no, real plans ». I tried to be as kind as I can, but At the same time I wanted to him to hear that, I told him that he doesn’t really have a chance at a big music career, and that he should focus on something more realistic that will help him establish a stable life. He was pushing thirty and haven’t had a job other than a server. I made all my points, which were all valid.

I felt like I was just being blunt and honest and trying to show him the situation as it for him to get realistic.

Am I the asshole here?
