Bar Exam Killed My Relationship-Fixable?

[ChicagoSparty]

So, I decided to write a bad relationship advice book. Since I already make enough money, I think I will just publish it here, in this post. Don't worry...it's not a super long book. Read it...it will help you.

 

Bad Relationship Advice

 

Pg 1.

 

This sh*t will not get better.

 

The end.

The very same could be said about her.

 

Having been in both their shoes, I'd say she didn't handle it well. I agree with GT.

 

His initial post said she was passive aggressive ONLY after he treated her poorly (and from the sounds of it, it was more than just not having enough time to spend with her). My comment was in response to that. It wasn't until later on in the thread that he mentioned that they both treated each other poorly. There is more to what caused the end of the relationship than just the few months spent studying for the bar (and I've taken 3- CA, NY, MA). It's not that serious.

I'm a highly career oriented person who had a great girlfriend to support him through 4 years of complete an utter non-stop stress.

 

The Bar Exam does take every ounce of you the summer you sit for it. It does not account for you to have been under "complete and utter, non-stop stress" for the last 4 years, since law school if you go days takes 3 years.

 

I would advocate a romantic gesture: flowers & apology. Explain that you had been working toward your goal of graduating law school & passing the bar in part so you could provide a future for the two of you.

 

Sadly, although you say the job you have now is not stressful, I find that hard to believe. Clearly though you are not in Big Law or you would have even less time on your hands from working 12-16 hour days & being expected to bill 60-70 hours per week & you would be more stressed.

 

She didn't fall out of love in a few minutes so she may not be in a place where she is open to listening to you prattle on about how you have allegedly changed.
