mymission Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Very early on in my relationship with my ex boyfriend (about a month) I went on holiday with my friend for my 21st birthday. I had booked it before I met my ex. Anyway I got really really drunk 1 night and kissed another guy, or should I say they kissed me. I felt so guilty about it that I could not concentrate at all on my degree, I was in my final year. It completely consumed me I couldn't think of anything else. I told my boyfriend and he was pissed off at 1st but then said it didn't matter. I still felt guilty though and I didn't get as high a mark as I could have done. We ended up being together for 18 months and that was 1 of the reasons he gave for splitting up with me. He said it was always in the back of his mind. He had other reasons as well. Was just wondering if a relationship / break affected or is affecting your studies?
Life Person Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Yes, in my case it has affected me - my girlfriend dumped me one month before my college exams, so studying was hard as hell, very difficult to concentrate, my mind was always somewhere else, and at times I spent an entire week without studying - it's amazing how I didn't fail anything! Thankfully I have the opportunity to better my grades next year...
Author mymission Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 Its like I knew my studies were important but I just could not control my emotions. And now he is out of my life (well physically anyway he's not out of my mind, but he might be in a year or 2) and it feels like such a waste. I didn't fail but I'll always know I could have done a bit better.
who_knew Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 For sure. My ex broke up with me a few weeks before the end of winter break. I'm still not over her and it hurts me and my studies everyday. I spend time thinking of how things could be different rather than trying to get work done. I need to get a hold of my life. I used to be so much more productive, but i let these thoughts consume me.
Kaotic Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Yes Broke up on March 1st out of the blue and I missed 3 big assignments since then
Almond_Joy Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Yes, definitely. The breakup of my last relationship broke me emotionally. I ended up withdrawing from my master's program and was in and out of school for 6 months. I just started again in January, and the breakup happened between March and May of last year.
budley12 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 ive missed roughly 15classes this semester and i would usually only miss 1 or so. luckily my professors know I am having a rough time and are being more lenient with me
wibe Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Oh, I do not want to remind my memories, but when I come back to my past, I missed 18 classes BTW 3 semesters! God, i never ever want that kind of experience more.
