| As for the OP, he's just not into you. Honestly, why waste your time with someone who doesn't really care about you? It hurts to have strong feelings for someone but they don't like you back, it really does. But that's apart of life. Find someone who is into you as much as you're into them. That ha... |

This is all I found on it: Link
But I don't know what that means in terms of exactly what the course work might look like.
Not knowing more, it would seem a good change to me. But then I always welcomed anything to avoid a math course.  |

His behavior reminds me of myself at that age. I was in a 12-ish year relationship at the time.
In my case, my underlying drivers turned out to be: 1) midlife transition, and 2) alcoholism. More the later than the former. |

| I like the idea of avoiding the ridiculous morning getting-ready routine by going to bed dressed for the next day. If that is possible, of course. I have been working from home for several years and so have been able to do that quite easily. It has made a big difference, but then I recognize mine is... |
