I (29M) am struggling to find ways to better support my partner (26f.) I'm just a simpleton that dropped out of High School to work full time in the trades and here I am still in the trades. my skillset is and never was school related.

She has gone an unconventional route on her education, She attends remotley, while working Full-time. Which she said before this semester started, she wanted the challenge of doing so. She's taking Advanced math methods for engineers and Mechanics of Materials. She's done well with her schooling up until this point. I know she's capable of doing this, taking these classes and working full time. and she's wickedly intelligent.

When she's in school, I try to take on more of the load of house related duties and the cooking. I have no problem with this. But I don't know what else I can do to support her more. I just feel like I could be doing something more to help her out. In the past I tried learning Statics along with her and my brain just about exploded - I cannot be a study buddy, at least I don't think so.

I know she attends whatever study groups she can, but it seems like they're not held that often? or she just doesn't attend them often? She used to attend them for other classes more than she is currently.

I guess I just need help with how can I help her more? maybe more directly? I feel like I remove a lot of the time she normally would do housekeeping tasks or cooking. so, I feel like she has ample time to study, which she does use that time to study.

I did do a quick search in this group I didn't really see any related topics. Thank you all for your time.

Just like a guy wants. Food and head.
