Hi Peter,

Your name spooked me a little. I was trying to help him but at some point I felt like I was trying to change him since he did not want to do it. I really thought since he had so much time now it would be really nice to get it out of the way (GED thing). My friend who gave me the advice on this said that it will push him to get the certification out of the way but then it backfired and led to the breakup. At the time I didn’t really think smartly about it, and now I regret having done so. I just really thought the certification was something that would be beneficial and given how early it can be taken, getting it out of the way would be helpful in the long run.
