bedord7 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Hey everyone new to the forum just want some people's advice about this. My gf and I are both in professional school together. We met here this past summer. Our relationship is going great. We're very much in love and are so glad we met each other. Our program is very stressful. Lately my gf has been venting and venting to me about her frustrations non-stop and I've really not complained too much about school myself. I don't tend to get stressed very easily over things. It's just my temperament. It's how I've always been. I understand that she's feeling stressed and I don't mind being there for her but she's been venting nonstop lately. It's starting to take over a lot of our conversations and I feel like I'm starting to internalize her own stress which I worry will affect my performance in school. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? I feel like our communication has always been open and great. I want her to know that she can tell me things but at the same time respect that I'm a student dealing with everything she's dealing with and that I need to focus on my own studies as much as hers. Any advice? Thanks!

Juliet = a placeholder for your girlfriend's name. Juliet you have to calm down, some of your stress is creeping over to me even though I am rarely stressed. If I don't watch out it's going to affect my school work and I don't want that. I want to support you where I can and help you with anything if I have the time, but you need to calm down and not let your stress get the best of you. We're going to work hard on our projects and pull through, it's going to work.
