Paying for 3 years of his sister's college education is pretty amazing. I think it's too late for them if he feels judged by her. I hope that you can cheer her up and help her move on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147999 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:34:16 +0000 Andrea 147999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she thinks he isn't good enough for her then she should just move on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147964 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:17:41 +0000 Alivoo01 147964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think everyone comes from a different background, and she was way too judgemental on that one attribute. It wasn't like he is a bum and is living off of her income, etc. He made a living on his own and even opened up his business. If his business is thriving, that's awesome. Owning your own business and keeping it going is hard work!! I don't blame him for not giving her a second chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147947 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:10:21 +0000 autumnlove 147947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: ya! i'm gonna see her tomorrow...hope I can cheer her up and give good advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147942 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:08:17 +0000 chopsuey 147942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sucks. She broke up with him for a reason so should move on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147940 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:06:45 +0000 Rubies 147940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Oh, interesting. If he's hardworking and is good with money and whatnot, then that's different. The boyfriend I was with was just lazy. For us, it wasn't about the degree...It was about ambition and motivation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147935 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:05:07 +0000 heffalump 147935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sucks. But I'm sure she really hurt his feelings, and he deserves someone who wants him for who he is. Hopefully she learned her lesson for next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147929 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:01:11 +0000 autumnlove 147929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: Yeah, he is a really hard worker and is smart with his money. He also paid for 3 years of his little sister's college tuition and expenses when his parents ran into financial difficulty! He told us that her graduation day was the proudest day of his life! So he definitely isn't anti-education...it just wasn't for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147921 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:58:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 147921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is working on his AA but wasn't enrolled when I met him or when we got married. It is hard having different beliefs but if he was a hard working guy then his degree shouldn't matter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147894 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:50:07 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 147894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was very open to all walks of life (I come from a blue collar non college educated background). As it is Mr has a BS and I have an MD, MPH etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147892 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:49:55 +0000 purrpletulips 147892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she should move on. However, I think her view is fairly narrow. He sounds like he made a solid living for himself without finishing college and would be a strong role model for kids because he made something of himself without completing college whereas there are many college graduates who are unemployed because they are "over-educated" or got degrees in areas that don't have a lot of jobs available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147890 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:49:07 +0000 Crisark 147890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah she messed up and now needs to move on. He's not going to come back to someone that basically thinks she's better than him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147877 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:45:01 +0000 Rubies 147877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Two years!!!!!!!!!!!! He was my very first boyfriend so I didn't know any better. I should have broken up with him much earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147873 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:43:13 +0000 autumnlove 147873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: how long did you date that guy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147851 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:34:49 +0000 MamaMoose 147851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I think she should just move on. I would have a hard time marrying someone who didn't complete college either (mainly because I want our children to go to college and that battle is easier fought if both parents went). But I also understand why this guy would never want to be with someone who judged him for that decision. So I think they just aren't a good match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147847 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:34:05 +0000 Rubies 147847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She should move on. I broke up with a guy once because our ambitions were very different. Similarly with your friend, I was serious about school and this guy was not and while he was fun, loving, and a great person, ultimately our goals were different and our relationship would have fizzled out. Your friend probably really misses him and likes him, but the guy was totally judged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late#post-147837 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:31:01 +0000 autumnlove 147837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my closest friends recently broke up with her boyfriend of about 6 months. She said things were getting serious(talking about getting married) but she could not get over the fact that he never completed college. I think he went for a year and decided it was not for him. She has her Masters in Social Work and wants to pursue a PhD and he is an electrician who now owns his own company. They seemed to be very compatible with their interests of reading, cooking, traveling, etc!</p> <p>She wants to get back together with him but he basically told her to Eff off. My friend's mom thinks she was too judgemental with this guy and should just move on...</p> <p>What do you guys think? I think I agree with her Mom... </p>
