Dear LFTP: the law-school girlfriend
- My girlfriend started law school and says she has no time to see me for three months — is her behavior reasonable, or am I being selfish to expect some time?
In the Dear Live from the Path segment, a host reads a letter signed 'nearly desperate': a man in his 30s dating a woman who has started law school full-time and says she has no time to see him for three months, though she says nothing has changed. The hosts advise that she is effectively ending the relationship and he should accept it, joking about the letter-writer along the way. They then read advice columnist Carolyn Hax's published response, which frames the options as making peace with waiting or judging from her actions that she isn't right for him.
