Can a relationship between an educated person and an uneducated person work? (Page 2)

Question

So my boyfriend is working to complete high school but is naturally struggling. He has ADD which disrupts his focus, but he is highly intelligent in many other areas and has myriad hobbies. We also get along really well. He respects and admires the fact that I have ambitions, and he has never tried to take that away from me. However, his exams are coming up and it isn`t guaranteed that he will pass. Yes, he might work towards actually passing but there is a chance that he might pull back. I just wondered if a relationship between a person who wants to pursue a degree and a person who doesn`t have one can actually work in the long run.

Of course it can. The educated person can always help the other if it's required

Depends-are you ok with making more money than he does? Most women will say they are ok with that but, truth be told, most are not ok with it. (Women say it because women always give the "socially correct" answer no matter how they truly feel).

It seems a bit strange to me to see a woman asking this question today when for the better part of the 20th century there were thousands if not millions of successful marriages in which the husband was educated and the wife wasn't.

Statistically, only if the uneducated person is male; it's about income, not intelligence. Divorce rates by education and gender will get you started.

What's more important, An educated partner or a partner you know loves you for you and makes how things are between you two the best they can which don't require a piece of parchment?

My crush has no college degree, yet she's the best in memorizing economical stuff, which I as a computer scientist actually suck at, not only due to bad maths knowledge.

YES THE RELATIONSHIP WILL WORK BECAUSE TWO PEOPLE NECESSARILY DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME EDUCATION OR OUTLOOK ON THINGS TO BE IN LOVE. TWO PEOPLE WHO SHARE A COMMON BOND WITH ONE ANOTHER PROVES THAT A RELATIONSHIP CAN WORK.

Depends on what you mean by educated, the vast majority of what is taught in college is useless.

That kind of relationship is more likely to succeed than a relationship between a conservative and a Feminist/SJW.
