My BF looks like he is going to get a 2:2, would I be wrong to dump him?

Lets turn this around. Imagine that it was in fact YOU who is on track for getting a 2:2 or even a 3rd in an Arts subject. How would you feel if your bf dumped you for that precise reason? Secondly, it is not too late for him to turn this around. This best thing he can do at this point is spend less time with you concentrate on his exams. But life is a giant balancing act so he will have to learn how to balance work and social life. Be a good gf and encourage him to study harder/see a tutor/ spend less time with you!

I know it's a troll, but I actually agree, I would dump a girl if she ever got fat so I would expect the same if I were made redundant or whatever.

If you love someone you're meant to stay with them through the hard times not just the good lol.

The majority of people >95% love in a manner which is opportunistic and unless you have good reason to believe they would not do that to you, it's prudent to assume they will and thus act accordingly.

Just read the title, but why would you dump someone over that?

You're pulling statistics out of your ass.

Also, divorce isn't in the genes. I have no idea how you got to that conclusion, but know that (as it has been said before) there are a number of different factors contributing towards divorce. Suggesting this is a predetermined outcome is reductionist and frankly ridiculous.

You don't need to study something to know it's general difficulty.

He is sort of scoring around 57-62%, but I can't see him making the 2:1.

the fact youre actually asking this shows that you shouldn't be together

Well actually you do, or at least you need to have a vague understanding of what the discipline actually entails.
Because I'm willing to hazard a guess that you're one of those idiots who confuse psychology with psychoanalysis.

From the moment you mentioned methods of inference I knew you were a psychology graduate.

I actually think it's all right to dump someone based upon their degree classification. You marry who you date. If you go out with someone in College who looks like he has his stuff together and has ambition and he turns in to someone who gets stoned every day and misses half his lectures, he isn't the person you thought he was. His life will turn out pretty much the way most(Not all, but the statistically most significant part of them) people like that turn out.

*Psychology graduate*. *Neuroscience MSc student*

Have you read the articles? Have you broadened your narrow mind? :wink:

It takes a lot of self-discipline though to read something counter-attitudinal, don't think you have the capacity for it. Bit of psychology again for you there.

I think it's a perfectly respectable field of academic inquiry, you do give off a certain vibe and it's definitely not stats grad

Nope!

I'm actually doing a different undergrad degree now as my career plans changed after being diagnosed with a serious mental illness. I did get a merit for my master's though! :proud:
