study after marrige

Re: study after marrige

It’s very difficult, you need an understanding and supportive hubby, family, in laws etc. If you live in it gets even harder because some people don’t get the fact that you have to study at unsociable hours and sometimes can’t contribute to the household. Then you have the issue of possible pregnancy.. if it happens, it happens and there’s not much you can do about it. You have to work around the challenges and be dedicated to what you are doing.

I have a friend who married before finishing her studies and her in-laws promised to help her throughout her studies by paying for her course and allowing her to work when necessary. Needless to say they didn’t live up to the promise and it wasn’t long until the mother in law had found a job and expected my friend to do all the housework before going to uni and then come back from uni and cook and clean for the whole family. She even got a good telling off once for not cleaning the bathroom to her mother in laws standards!

Another friend married before starting uni, she got pregnant a few months after the wedding and was also doing her first year at university. She quit uni due to the sickness and never went back! The child is now almost 3!

Stardust09 I have first hand experience of the joys of being a law student :smiley: good luck with the course.
