Today, the girl I have been dating for the past couple months broke it off with me. She said she's tired of waiting around for me and being ignored in the mean time. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so greedy as to finish my 2 degrees and work 2 jobs to pay for my school. How selfish of me. FML

it's for the better, you have no time for a relationship anyway. soooo.... why even start one if you are going to be nonexistant? two jobs and college, that gotta suck.

you really shouldn't be dating at all think abt it from her point of view she never sees you and your gone all hours how is a realiatuonship like that supposed to work? you weren't selfish but she wasn't your priority andshe felt like she needed to be. she shouldve come talk to you but she didn't so now it's time to move on

Wow, Pimpin, I actually agree with you for once.

If this were the love of your life that you'd been with for a year or more, maybe then it would be an FML. But you were with her a couple months, while working on two degrees and two jobs. If you don't have time for her in the beginning of a relationship, the time when two people are getting to know each other and deciding how much they want to be together, then you can't blame her for not wanting to continue. It's not a YDI, per se, but your life isn't ******. You made your priorities clear, and she wants a relationship where her partner's priorities include her. It's perfectly natural, really.

Agreed with #7 - you don't have time right now for a girlfriend. You're better off, but not because she was especially needy or selfish. You have to understand that if you don't have any free time to invest in a relationship, it's going to end like this. Who wants to date someone who's never going to be around? Your shit ain't that hot. FYL for now, but quit whining and get over it. If you can land a decent job with those 2 degrees, you'll be killer on the dating scene in a few years' time when you can actually participate in your own relationship. (trust me, women love it when they hear cool job titles)

You are totally selfish! If you loved the girl, you would have gotten just one degree and borrowed money to finance it. Nothing says love like racking up mounds of debt to have more time for your girl.

Makes perfect sense. Nothing says love like settling for a shitty mediocre future for some flash in the pan 2 month relationship. Jesus H Corpsefucker, there sure are a lot of morons with their priorities backwards here.

I don't blame her. Sounds like you were spending all your time on work and school - and not making any time for HER. Maybe you don't have time for a girlfriend. Rethink your life choices.

I think that's very admirable of you, but I also can't blame her for breaking it off. You obviously don't have time for a relationship right now.

Why were you in a relationship with someone you basically never got to see? Doing what you have to do is fair, but it's also fair for her to decide she wants to be with someone who she will see a little more regularly.

It isn't selfish of you to be working towards your goals, however it is selfish of you to expect a girl to date you and be ok with getting ignored or waiting around for you. You clearly don't have time to date; if you're just horny, get a **** buddy.. That way, there are no expectations.

41, a relationship doesn't have to be all-consuming #1 priority. OP has a life, OP's girlfriend should have a life too. If she were taking 2 degrees, she would understand. Perhaps OP should be a bit more choosy next time and date an academic rather than a clinger.

You were being selfish. Just because it's justified (and you're trying to go something better with your life) doesn't mean it is any less selfish, especially when clearly you chose furthering your education over her. I get you were probably tired and all after all the stuff you had to do, but still, you can't expect her to wait around. Maybe find a girl that is more independent? Though the problem with that is once you finish school and have more time with her, she will probably still be the same and not really have time for you. Or do long distance since that is less... demanding and when you have the time you can have actual meet ups. And best of all, SHE WON'T FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IGNORING HER, because you won't be. Or, like others suggested... just wait. If you don't have the time, you are likely to have the same thing happen with your next girlfriend.

I think she should have known what she was putting herself into. If they guy's dedicated, he's dedicated. But he only agreed to it because he felt lonely. She shouldn't be surprised if he's constantly working to do something with his life. After all, who said that he's the one who asked HER out?

Finding out something like "I'm busy as hell with work and school and will only get to see you once a month" is something you should find out (or communicate) while or before you are dating... not after you have been going steady for a few months.
