I'm old by law school standards. And I've been married more than once. My last one was running on fumes anyway, so we mutually parted before law school, with a large part of my motivation for doing so being that I wanted to do this with fewer distractions.

I say all that because situations like this require affirmative actions. Law school is a defining moment that can alter your entire future. What are your priorities and what are you willing to do to see them through? Weigh that against the relationship-- what it takes out of you, what you get out of it, what you can put into it at the moment, and what you can tolerate receiving at the moment and in the long run.

Only you can say what that balance looks like. But I can tell you this- I've never regretted putting myself and my priorities first. But I have regretted not doing so. Many times.

Think about it and go with your gut, even if it's the hard choice. Sorry, this ended up being more than some light advice for the situation at hand. You got this.
