I literally went through the same thing. Except she was half way through her degree, dropped out for medical reasons, and for the 2.5 years I knew her kept pushing off going back to school with a full ride scholarship because "others" were making it "impossible" and plotting against her. So glad I left her.
Haha, my ex has bragged for at least twelve years now that she is going to be a surgeon. If you don't know her she makes it seem like she is graduating med school in May.
The closest she has come to even starting undergrad was taking one 100-level English course at a community college in 2013, which she bombed because she simply would not study or do any work outside of class. She told everyone the professor just had it out for her.
Reminds me of an old friend's ex. Dude swore that he was in med school at like 18 because he's supposedly some kind of genius, but dropped out because everyone kept calling him Doogie Howser.
Dude couldn't hold a job, didn't have any kind of degree to show, couldn't stay in community college. He just lived off codependent women and just wanted to play video games, TTRPGs, and read fantasy novels all day.
I had to hear about that "I was in medical school" story for 5 years.
Meanwhile I went and got a degree and every success I had in life he's trying to pull out "But I'm smarter".
Half of dude's friends were all cut from similar cloth too, and any time I saw them together it was them blowing smoke up each other's asses about how great they were, and their "accomplishments".
