how important is education in a relationship?
the guy that I'm with now didn't go to college. my parents wouldn't accept him for sure. and I"m not sure if I can see myself in a long term relationship with a person who only finished highschool.

well i think education is very important in relationship, in starting of any relationship everything is good but after some times when things are not in your favor then only thing you want from your partner is understanding and that can only gathered by education. because if there is any problem with your occupation then how can your partner understand you. my words may be harsh but in reality this is the very truth ,we all have to face it.

I agree with you. on a short term relationship maybe education wouldn't be that important. but as time goes by those buterflies that you feel in the stomach are gone..and respect and understanding takes place. this is why I'm afraid of starting a serious relationship with my current boyfriend( or ex maybe...I don't know even how to call him as we had a fight a few days ago precisely over this thing and we haven't spoken to each other since then). I don't see how we could relate when he wants to become a truck driver and I want to be a judge. it would be a weird combination. and we have to be realistic...we don't live in a fairytale and I don't know how many chances our relationship would have in this conditions

well i were in your place ,i continue my relationship because we get life for one time and die one time so why we so afraid about future. we never know what future gifts us ,if your boyfriend is nice man and you can synch with him well then no other person can give such comfort and love that he will give you.there is saying that don't follow the same path that other chose ,make your new and leave the trail. But at last everything depends on you.

Not all guys who finished a university education ended up successful. If you would look at some of the world's billionaires, a good number of them did not finish college. However, you know the guy better so if somehow you could not see him having an ambition in life, then you can decide from there.

I"m not materialistic and I don't want a guy that has I don't know which car but with who I don't have anything to talk about. he makes mistakes...mistakes that bother me. I"m not pretending to be perfect and I don't really care about what other people would say. but as long as his ideal job is as a truck driver and my ideal job is a judge I don't really see how we could relate on the long term

there have been studies that show people who have similar level of education tend to marry or select those with similar educational level. it is called educational homogamy. although there is no evidence that the couples who have similar levels of education live happily, the tenor of the theory is that topics and ideas can be shared in the same level. and communication is what makes relationship last.

they say to two people in love this should not be an issue but we need to be realistic at times. I know of some who hadn't finish college but could think more logically and earn more than a college graduate. If you are getting along well and his being a high school graduate has never been a contention between you and your boyfriend then maybe it's not something to worry. However, if his education had been in some way already creating doubts, fears or conflicts in your relationship then weigh situations first before considering lifetime commitment.

hello swissheart, i think education will matter in relationship, because if your partner is educated he can relate whats happening around, also if he is educated he can have good lifestyle including his family in future,also he can work in different good company or he can start up with a business.
But,for me, it depends even he did not finish high school or college,if he has good experience in work and he has determination, self confidence and self study in order to have good life in the future,he will excel in everything he do.

I like a person who is ambitious...who has goals that he wants to achieve. and if he wants it enough than he can do it. what I don't like about my boyfriend is the fact that he limits hymself. for example one day he told me that his ideal job would be as a truck driver. I didn't say anything but in my mind I was like...hollyyyyy jesuss how on earth could I introduce this guy to my parents.
