So my girlfriend is in college studying special education and this weekend she is going to what’s known as “summer institute” where in order for her to get a scholarship she has to attend it, if she doesn’t she will owe the school a lot of money, however she is making me choose between that and her seeing a therapist for some mental health issues and I can only pick one and whichever I choose she will forego the other so which should I pick?

There’s no contest. She must get her scholarship, then you can ease into working on the other after she’s got it, but I’d keep that to myself. Besides...that scholarship will boost her confidence and spirits and she needs that right now. Whatever you do, don’t complain about the decision. This is a big deal and occasion to her. Good memories are crucial. I’m proud of her. Congratulations to her, and you, for your support and her great accomplishment!

Personally I reckon the scholarship wins on this one, because owing the school a lot of money won’t help her mental health all that much anyway. I think the therapist would agree tbh and hopefully that appointment can be rearranged anyway but in the end this should be her choice

@Mildreadful she doesn’t want to, I want her to but she doesn’t

@Noonesingslikeyouanymore it doesn’t really make sense since they aren’t really related things. I’d still say the scholarship wins but really the best people to ask are people that know her and know what will benefit her more long term

@Noonesingslikeyouanymore You can ease into that later. Pushing her will only make her resistant to therapy at all. Work on that later. However, I wouldn’t think about marriage until he gets good help and most importantly, finishes the therapy, but do not mention this, whatever you do. Think about that as a goal for later. Keeping her mind busy with positive things will really help her. Your support means a lot to her.

Ain't nothin' wrong with bein' crazy in America! Just keep sharp knives away from her when you're around.
