fireace_00 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 My girlfriend and I have been together now for about a year now. I'm 21 and she's 20. I'm from America and she currently lives in Australia. We love each other very much. But school has started for her again, while I am on my summer break. Lately, it's been harder for me to communicate to her because of her school work. Sometimes she will tell me that she will call me back or that she will do something for me, but she never does. She seems to pay more attention to her work than me. I know she loves me because she tells me this everytime that we do talk. But I don't know what to do. I don't want to put pressure on her in any way, yet I want to hear from her more often. What should I do?
AusGirl Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 I know what you are going through. ATM my Boyfriend is up to his head in assignments and doesn't have time to see me...he says he is stressed to the max. But in the last 24hrs i have pushed him and it hasnt gotten me anywhere. She is in uni (i gather) and it is very time consuming. Dont stress about it too much, my guess is her exams are coming up soon and she is just really busy with studies. Dont take it to heart just support her anyway you can.
Nicholas Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 It would not be a good idea to be anything but supportive of her work.

Treasa Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 Oh my God, I am SO STRESSED from school right now. I've written approximately 40 pages of work in the past week alone. If my boyfriend started complaining about not hearing from me often enough while I'm sitting up til 1am every morning working on projects, I would totally pop him in the head. Thankfully I'm on the last page of my last academic paper as an undergrad, so hopefully in an hour I won't be as psychotic. School comes first. It won't last forever, and if you have respect for her goals, you'll be supportive.
