If you were married and in college would you study abroad away from your husband?

Especially if you had always wanted to study abroad. What do you think about this?

If you were married and in college would you study abroad away from your husband?
I've done it. Let me tell you about my experience: it was wonderful. I went to Ghana Africa and I was scared at first but after I got there, I learned so much. It was a wonderful experience for my husband and me. I realized that I loved him all over again b/c I was away from his slightly annoying habits. It also made for a wonderful talking and *cuddling* session after I got back. We both learned and I was the only one that went!!! As long as you are secure enough to leave him, I say go for it!
Reply:I think that it would be very hard for me to leave %26amp; I would miss my boyfriend very much. So no, I probably wouldn't go.
Reply:no
Reply:Should have done it before you got married. If there are no children, then it is between you and hubby, but it won't be healthy for the marriage.
Reply:I am totally with Howie on this one.
Reply:Yup, I would. It would only be for a little while. If he couldn't accept my decision or didn't want me to have this great opportunity, I'd have second thoughts about our marriage.
Reply:NO!
Reply:college=drunken orgies with occasional cliff's notes. I'm married. Absolutly not.
Reply:I was in college after I was married, I went to a community college instead of away. It is a little selfish to want to leave your spouse and could kill your marriage

So my answer may be a little biased.





I say the answer is Yes, but let me condition that answer. Only do so if your marriage can handle it. I truly believe that if two people are meant to be together, then they will, no matter what happens. Studying abroad will definitely put strain on a marriage. Marriage can be hard to maintain, it is a fulltime job and is usually under-appreciated.





Given that, my boyfriend has been accepted into grad school in another state, I have already decided that I am moving so that I can be with him. We are not married, but I feel that I will be in too much pain if I am unable to see him on a regular basis.





Look at your marriage with your husband. Have you been married long, or are newly weds? Is your studying abroad for a semester, a year, forever? Can your current home handle your absence? By that, I'm talking about the rent/mortgage, upkeep, plants, pets, etc. Can your husband handle everything with you gone?
