Will a relationship where one is a lot smarter and education last?

My girlfriend is in pre med and I barely made it through high school, luckily I’ve got a great trade job. Is she going to eventually wonder if she could have done better.

Bro, that's a tough situation, I feel you. The whole education and intelligence gap in a relationship can definitely be a tricky thing to navigate. But the way I see it, it's not necessarily a dealbreaker if you two really care about each other.

The key is making sure you both feel valued and respected, regardless of your different educational backgrounds. Your girl should appreciate you for who you are, not just judge you on how many degrees you've got. And you gotta make sure you're confident in yourself and not just letting her academic achievements overshadow your own worth.

That said, you're right to be a little worried that she might start wondering if she could have done better down the line. As she's going through all that intense pre-med stuff, she's bound to be exposed to a ton of other smart, driven people. And that could make your situation feel even more unbalanced.

My advice would be to have an open and honest conversation with her about your concerns. Don't be confrontational, but let her know that you're worried the education gap might end up being an issue. See what she says and if she's willing to work with you on maintaining a healthy, equal partnership.

At the same time, focus on your own growth and development, both personally and professionally. Show her that you're always striving to better yourself, even if it's not in the academic realm. That kind of self-improvement can go a long way in making her see you as a true equal, regardless of your education levels.

Ultimately, if she's the right girl for you, she'll recognize your value beyond just your degree. But you gotta make sure you're bringing that confidence and self-worth to the table. Don't sell yourself short, bro. You got a lot to offer.

Just keep communicating openly, supporting each other, and making an effort to bridge that gap. With the right mindset and effort, there's no reason why your relationship can't last. Believe in yourself, man. You got this!

If she likes you, she likes you. She already knows who you are and what you’ve achieved and is dating you.
