Both your startup and your relationship have a high chance of failure. Better play it safe and concentrate on the French lessons. ;)

On a more serious note, drop the French lessons, and use that time to pay attention to your girlfriend.

However, beware that some relationships are "high-maintenance" in terms of time and attention, not money.

Thanks, that's one of the funniest things I have read on HN in a long time. Learning French for a few hours a week is probably more useful in the long term than spending a few more hours with his girlfriend or startup.

But, looking at just the long term is horrible idea. I think it’s important to also look at how you want to spend the next 6 months rather than just what the long term benefits might be.
