    I once got dumpted for the same reason. I was working in another country and met this guy who is from Congo. He was at the university working towards his masters degree. I would be partying and he would remain in his room studying. All he did was studying and he was so smart. One morning we broke up and he told me that anyway he was there to study and not to look for love. I knew from the start that he was more focused on his studies than on relationship.

    Months later, I was back home then, he called me and proposed. I said yes but we never got married. That's sort of funny though.

    Couldn't you tell her that you don't have as much time for dating, because of school? Is she really demanding, or something? Perhaps ya'll aren't very compatible to begin with?

  • I wouldn't unless she isn't understanding and patient.

    I think that's reasonable. Though I personally wouldn't understand your dilemma for a number of reasons.

    You probably should've spoken to them about it before going ahead with it. Partners should understand each other first.

    That's pretty weak. Seems like school occupies too much of your time and mental energy. You ever consider dropping out? And don't tell me a bunch of crap about your dream career because I guarantee you it's probably a wack job once you start doing it.

      It does take up a lot of my time, but I rather not drop out since I already put too much time and money into school.

        It's not too late. If you spent a lot of time and money on gambling would it mean that you should continue to waste more money and time on it because you're already in a hole financially?

          Is this from personal experience?

    Wish I had the courage to break up with my gf when I was in college probably would of gotten better grades. I would advice anyone to keep intimate relationships out of your life until you finish school. Cause being in relationships while trying to juggle school is super hard and is a disservice to yourself. Everything you think you are missing will be there after school ends

    Assuming you cared about her that sounds rather extreme. Surely it's possible to focus on your studies and have a relationship as well?

    No, not really normal, kind of awkward.

    reminds me of one of the "revenge of the nerds" movies where some Jock becomes a nerd and says "My parents wanted me to be popular in college but i just wanted to get good grades"
