You should talk to your school about it. If you can get an approved leave of absence you’ll be able to go back without reapplying or anything. If that’s the case I think taking a semester off to work and help your husband adjust is a solid plan. If you would have to reapply to your school I wouldn’t risk it though. Maybe you can take a reduced course load and fine some sort of compromise. Good luck!

I’m a little scared to, about not being able to go back in the fall, and my mom was worried about me dropping out when I married him (because we’re gay, not because he’s chronically ill?? But still) it kinda feels like I’m going to prove her right. But he’s more important to me than school

I’m going for a teaching degree so being a substitute is a good gig, plus I’ve got a job lined up this summer

As someone who has epilepsy, I wouldn’t want someone stopping such an important thing for me. Go on live your life, maybe take easier courses and some online ones this semester. Still take care of him, but don’t drop everything. Make sure he’s cut out alcohol, getting more than 8 hours of sleep, don’t give him stress, and take his meds around the same time. Maybe see an epitologist too if he isn’t already

My schools five hours away, so I live up there full time and because I don’t have a license (partially due to my own health issues) I can’t just come back very often, so it’s an all or nothing situation. I might check out the leave of absence thing? That seems like it might be useful
