Sacrificing my ideal career for my principles?

Anon please, I know people on here. I hope this is the right forum; I could have put this thread in Careers&Jobs, but it's also related to my relationship so I thought this forum might be better. I'm at university and am thinking about my future and how I will support myself... My boyfriend has a stable, well-paid job and, since we intend to stay together long term, he would easily be able to support me when I leave university. I know that he likes the idea of having someone (a wife/girlfriend) to do the housework and make sure there's a hot meal waiting when he gets home from work. My ideal career would be as a novelist; I've finished my first book and am going to try to get published later on this year. I am aware, however, that very few writers manage to make enough money to live on and if I were to live with my boyfriend then I could do the chores (which I don't mind) and write (which is all I've ever wanted to do) and not have to worry about money. The problem with this is that I have always been a feminist at heart and I would hate for people to think I was sponging off him. I am perfectly capable of making money in a normal job (my other option is doing a conversion course and going into law) and my principles are telling me that this would be the more honourable course of action. So my question is this; do I listen to my principles which tell me to go out and work or do I follow my heart and accept a home role so that I can dedicate myself to writing?
