if you're so preoccupied with your degrees and job, then why even bother getting in a relationship? I'm sorry but I have to side with your ex-girlfriend on this one. A healthy relationship requires both individuals to take time out of their busy lives and spend it with each other. don't act like she was selfish or that it was her fault-you're the one that couldn't make time. I'm not blaming you for anything, but I do question why you would even go looking for a relationship if you have so much to do. And don't get me wrong, I would have sympathy for you if you were preparing for a big test and couldn't see her for a week or so. But getting degrees? That takes years! How long did you expect her to wait for you?!

YDI- If you're that busy... then don't get in a relationship.

YDI, but in a good way. You should be jumping for joy at getting rid of a partner who isn't supportive of your dreams and ambitions. Best thing that could have happened to you.

From a girl's perspective there is one important difference. If I know a guy is serious about me and it is a mutual feeling, then I have no problems waiting and being supportive on the way. On the other hand, if he is not sure where this might be going or has not had the time to invest in it in order to find the answer to that question, then you can hardly blame the girl. If one invests in the relationship a lot more than the other and there is no goal towards which both are moving, no wonder it ends up like that. And in this case we don't know that necessary background.

Dude, i TOTALLY agree with #169. A girl is allowed to want someone who actually has the time for a relationship. Maybe in a different period in your respective lives it would have gone differently, but for two young people like yourselves, you can't ask a girl to commit to somebody that doesn't have time for her, especially only after two months.

I agree that OP should be with somebody who supports him, but your can't expect your girlfriend to stick around if you ignore her. why have a girlfriend if you aren't going to pay any attention to her/spend any time with her?

if your so damn busy then you shouldn't have a girlfriend dude. you're an idiot to expect a 2 month dating situation gal to work while you are busy with other things. get over it, she was right

You don't expect people to give you money if you don't have time to work. You won't get a degree if you don't have time to study. And for relationship you have to have time, too. Your girlfriend barely knew you. She couldn't possibly know if you can have any future together. Why would she wait for years for some stranger? You didn't have time for her and wanted her to give you that much time for nothing.

if you have so much on your plate, why were you even in a relationship?

YDI for having a girlfriend when you knew you would be too busy to be with her.
