Please help with this one?

My girlfriends grandfather recently passed and i said i was going to try as best i could to make it to the funeral to support her. I live two hrs away and if i go to the funeral i will miss two very important college classes that are covering the material on the midterms that i dont understand that i cannot afford to miss. I want to be there for her but i feel that in doing so i will fail my tests. What should i do? I sent her and her mother flowers and apparently that was not good enough. There is so much material covered in the two classes that just copying someone elses notes will not do and i will not learn anything that way

I know that you love your girlfriend enough to send her and her mother flowers and trying to make it to his funeral but you are right, your education is important. I'm not saying that education comes before your girlfriend but you are right, you don't want to miss this for your mid-terms and you do live 2 hours away. If she is forcing you or is causing you stress to come to this funeral then that isn't right. I know you want to support her through this time but you want to do good on your mid-terms.





It depends on how well you knew him. If you were really good friends or friends at least, then you should try and make it. If you can't, then that would be bad. Personally, this funeral probably means a lot to your girlfriend and missing school would be ok. You said there are mid-terms and copying them from another classmate wouldn't cut it but a close person of your girlfriend then you should be there supporting her.
Reply:Bottom line is that girlfriends will come and go. Your career, what you have chosen to do for many years, will last much, much longer. You should send a heartfelt letter, along with some more flowers to both your girlfriend and mother. Then, you should go to your classes and learn.





Life is for living, not for dwelling on the sadness of someone passing. I think your girlfriend and her mother are making your attendance at the grandfather's funeral a test of your love for your girlfriend. If you pass this test, they will come up with other conditions and test for you to again prove your worthiness. Don't buy into these artificial declarations of love and guilt trips.





You know how you feel about her. Make it clear and then do what your hear tells you to do.
Reply:personally i believe this is a very hard topic but i believe i would go to the funeral. My grandfathers sick and may pass soon and i would expect my gf to be there no matter what. Good luck but school can always be made up a funeral only comes once.
Reply:It's either a FAIL or keeping your girlfriend and losing your education i would stay for the classes you need help i can tell. GL on midterms
