To be fair, I'm not sure this site is entirely dedicated to that purpose. There is a lot of bull thrown around on this site. This is not the first nor the last time that a personal question has come up on here.sumus romani wrote:You are going to get absolutely no sympathy here. First, because you are a flame.

This is a good point.sundevil77 wrote: On another side note, if your wife truly wants to come back and work where you're at, why is she spending $$$$ and leveraging your future on an expensive legal education??? Financially it makes a zillion times more sense to get a full-ride to a local school. By going to a top 5 school, she is practically guaranteed to need to work in a big city after graduation.
Fucking homo.blackhawk1 wrote:I need words of wisdom or advice. My wife just got off the waitlist of a top 5 law school. I don't want her know I am writing this, so I am not going to say which exact school or where we are exactly from. We also live about 2000 miles away from this law school. She took her LSATs, did real well and applied. I thought she was going to apply for a local school and attend for free.
Now she is leaving in two weeks for law school. We have only been married three years and been together for 8 years. I wish I could move, but bc of a medical problem with my family, I can't. I am not as smart as her. I have a good paying job, but nothing that great. I am not smart enouph to go to law school, medical school or business school. I think I am going to lose her. She says she is going to come back after law school. She says she wants to live where we live now and have a family. After she goes to x law school, I think she is not going to want to come back to bumblefck america. I want her to be happy, but I feel like I restrict her from achieving her dreams. We are now going to use the money we saved for having a family and buying a home for her first year tuition. She says she will take out a loan for the following two years.
I want to have a family soon, but I know that is not going to happen. I have a feeling she is going to meet another law student and not want to come back to me. I will visit her, but realistically, its going to be once every 6-10 weeks. She is already talking about firms to intern with in the summer in big cities. I can feel her slipping away from me.
Has anybody else been in this situation? How can I make sure I keep her? I really dont want to lose her. I am very depressed and do not know what to do.
I picked a school that was ranked 1 less than my other top choice simply because of the ease of getting to my SO. Compromise is the name of the game, flamebutt.Barbie wrote:My long-term boyfriend and I are compromising when choosing a law school (he is coming with me). So going really far away isn't an option, and we are deciding on cities that would benefit us both. Obviously her goal isn't to live in that town and raise a family, but rather to become a successful lawyer. Since you have very different near-future goals, things will probably be very rough. If you genuinely feel she is the one for you, then you have to stick it out. The person you should be discussing your concerns with is her, not TLS, though. She is the only one that can put you at ease. Remember, though, that a marriage is a compromise. She has to be willing to sacrifice a little bit for you, as you are willing to do so for her.
We live 2+ hours away from a medium sized city. She says she will work there so we can be close to our parents. I want to convince her otherwise, but she got off the wait list two weeks ago and her heart is set on it. She is so happy and excited about going. She says she we can start a family 6-8 years down the road, it just seems so long.czelede wrote:This is a good point.sundevil77 wrote: On another side note, if your wife truly wants to come back and work where you're at, why is she spending $$$$ and leveraging your future on an expensive legal education???

maybe other people are right that this forum is not the best way to vent my marriage problems. how can I delete this post? I cant figure it out
I hate to say this as well, but if it's you taking care of your parents, nut up and get off the tit. Your spouse comes first.GermX wrote:What is this medical problem. You should be able to go with her.
