I posted this in off topic, but some people don't really visit that section so I'll post here.
This is for a friend and classmate of mine. She met a man that she likes. Here's the issue.
They are roughly the same age (he's a year older). She finished graduate school (she's a classmate from law school) and is working and making a very good salary. This guy dropped out of college, but has returned (he's finishing up his bachelor's), and is planning to go to law and business school. She likes him, but she's conflicted for a few reasons. He won't be finished for at least 5 years. What if things get really serious? She wonders if he will expect her to support him through school. She also doesn't want to wait that long to get married, but she's not sure if she is willing to support him if he's not her husband.
They met because he was seeking advice from people who attended law school, and then he started trying to talk to her.
I am usually really good at giving advice, but I'm a little stumped here, because there are so many factors. Ultimately, she will have to make the decision herself.
This situation is remniscent of Barack and Michelle, but is also a lot different. First, he's not actually admitted to law/business school, but it seems he's serious about going (he's applying, etc.). Second, since he hasn't even started yet, she would be looking at another 5 years or more before he finishes.
