So I've been going out with this great guy for the past 3 months. After (what was for me) a rough start, he has totally won over my heart. I'm currently a full-time student going for a degree that will support a start of a great career for me and he is very supportive of this. My problem is that the last time I was in school and started dating a guy, I failed my class and started doing poorly in school. My mom dropped out of school when she met my dad and she says she is worried this is going to happen to me.
I know I am not going to give up on school and drop out, but when I get in relationships, I'm driven to spend all my time and energy towards that in order to support a future in the relationship. I'm wondering for those of you who have been in a new relationship and got distracted from all the other things in life you were doing before you started dating the person, how did you get back motivated to doing well in school or with your job? I'm really struggling and I don't want to fail my classes. Before I met this guy I was spending all my time doing homework. Now I'm struggling to just do the bare minimum. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!
