After 2 long years.. she has broken up with me saying she’s unsure if she wants anything more serious with me (as in marriage), and that we argue a bit too much (which she has admitted its both of our faults). This couldn’t come at a worse time… I can’t concentrate on FAR. All I did today was watch a 3 hr lecture. Thats it. We are both accounting grads, and going for the CPA. She started work already a month ago (thats when our problems started). She would be at the metro around 10pm, and I would pick her up and take her home, where I would hang out with her and her family for an hour or so. She would be so exhausted that we would spend very little time together (which I am okay with). But she would snap at any little thing…

We went through everything together.. junior/senior year together, graduation, interviews, and a study abroad trip. life sucks. Thought I was going to marry this girl.. I guess not.

sorry for the off topic, just needed somewhere to vent.

Like I said before things happen for a reason — tough times will only make you stronger and wiser if you learn from them..

Just suck it up and get through this.. CPA for LIFE … LOL..

Make sure you surround yourself with supportive friends and family ..

I know buddy.. its just very tough right now. You know.. we did everything together for 2 years! When I go to the library and try to study.. all I could imagine was how we would study together every day before she started her job. We have so many memories everywhere.. Its so damn hard.. I keep telling myself maybe If I was nicer.. maybe If I bit my tongue more often then pick every battle to fight..

“If I was nicer.. maybe If I bit my tongue more often then pick every battle to fight..”

Been there…. thought that. My ex-boyfriend and I broke up after 2.5 years. I can relate… we talked about marriage too, had a lot of plans and shared a lot over the years together. In regards to the sentence I highlighted, you will be amazed how much you learned from this relationship. You may not see it until you meet the RIGHT person, but you will take things away from this relationship. I was single for over a year before dating my bf now. Everyday I see things that I learned from the past helping me build a wonderful, strong, mature relationship. Wishing you all the best. Hang in there, you are young!

@littlenumberrobot – I agree.. I have learned so much from the relationship before this one. We dated on and off for 2.5 – 3 years.. In between that I dated maybe 1-3 other people over the summer.. and we got back together.. and I eventually left her after 2.5 – 3 years for this girl.. I changed most of my old ways.. and I realized that everything the previous ex complained about, I would do for this girl.. I never bought flowers for any girl, food, romantic dinners, cuddling, hugging.. I was more of a hit and quit, and leave me alone kind of guy.. But I learned so much from the old gf. Then I met this girl, and I broke up with the other one because I thought she was the one I was looking for my whole life.. But I realized.. We dated for 2 years. I loved her maybe after 4 months of dating.. it took her over a year maybe to think the same… I had to constantly ask her why she would never mention anything about the future.. I would have to ask her why she doesn't like talking about her feelings — ever.. As the days pass.. I start realizing more and more that she isn't the one I was supposed to end up with.. I think I was being prepared for something bigger and better.

I think when I meet the right girl, me and her will both know it within a year or so. The more I think about it.. the more I realize I had to try very hard to get her to open up most of the time.. If I wanted to go for a walk around her neighborhood.. (20 mins max), I'd have to beg her for 30 mins.. Don't get me wrong.. I loved this girl to death.. she was awesome.. but maybe she wasn't the one for me..

Hopefully when I pass the CPA, I will meet the girl of my dreams, and like someone previously said we can ride out in the sunset together. I just keep praying I meet this girl sooner then later.. one day.. one day..

Its really hard breaking up esp. like you said you were with your ex for 2.5 years, and talked about marriage, plans, and years together.. its not easy.. its very hard to move past that. I was at the school library today, and everywhere I go.. I just keep seeing her.. we have so many memories together… We did so much together.. I fit in with her whole family, her parents.. I just don't know if I will ever find someone like that ever again.. you know it scares me sometimes.. yeah im only 24 and young.. but I still think about this stuff..

Thank you for your encouragement.. I truly appreciate it! The more I read on this thread, the better I become.. no joke. After posting on here, and reading what people have to say.. I actually feel a bit better… Yes I am sad, and yes I am a bit depressed in a way.. but I think it will all get better with time.. Thank you!!!!

Dude same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago but it was right before my REG exam. It sucks no doubt about it. I got the same excuse that you did. What makes it worst is that we were friends for 5 years before we even started dating. Then out of the blue 1 day i get a call on her lunch break and that was it. We havent talked since. I know its hard not to think about her bc i still do trust me but in the end you have to focus on the exam. There is no guarantee that she will come back or that your meant to be so instead of losing 2 things: her and the cpa exam just focus on winning one and lossing the other. If you let this effect your exam down the road you will be kicking yourself for it. Trust me easier said then done but i have been doing it. You just have to burry yourself in the Becker(or whatever review course you are using). Good luck

@proach33 – That seriously blows.. 5 years of being friends.. that sucks. I can't imagine that. Im feeling like this over 2 years. I dont know man its just sucks.. I really enjoyed dating her. It was a great relationship, we did every single thing together.. I wish she didn't work her 8-10pm job. I know thats one of the biggest reasons, she gets stressed out and feels bad for not being able to give me what I want. I SHOULD MAKE THAT DECISION.. It just blows.. everywhere I go reminds me of her.. If we werent majoring in the same thing, did everything together.. it would make it easier.. but its so hard.. I've been with tooo many girls (think 20+), and I saw her a year before I started dating her and thought she was the one.. a whole year before we talked! Then I saw her in my class group.. and we started dating.. I thought that was a sign.

It just hurts so badly.. I keep trying to move through with Becker.. but everywhere I go I am reminded of her.. Friends who are also studying Becker here, keep talking about her.. because we were inseparable.. It just sucks that I feel like this..

I never thought I'd ever let a girl affect me like this.. I am so depressed. I don't feel like doing anything.

I feel ya and ya trust me it completely blows. Her parents and my parents are friends so i still talk to them which doesnt make it easier. You just have to focus on the exam. I took Reg last Thursday so im waiting for Friday and hopefully ill catch a break. I will be so mad at myself if i found out i didn't pass. Trust me I have been with plenty 2 and i as well thought it was the 1 but you know what you have to remember that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON and if it is meant to be itll happen. I keep telling myself that. But now i am moving on and trying to tackle FAR.

I dont have a facebook anymore anyway.. and the problem is.. like I said if she was an a**hole, or a liar it would be so easy to move on.. but she was none of that. We saw each other 7 days a week for 2 years.. went traveling together, did so many things I never done before.. it was awesome. Since day 1 I thought she was the one.. But I guess she didn't feel the same.

Thats crazy…. married and then divorced, and remarried to the same guy!! So many years apart.. But you see.. this girl works all day everyday now during her busy season.. I can only talk to her on the phone for maybe 15 minutes at night.. thats it. She just keeps telling me shes unsure how she feels but that she doesn't want to be in a relationship now.. and that shes sorry and she feels guilty.

I don't know what to do because I don't feel like Ill find someone quiet like her.. It just sucks. For the past 3-4 hours i've done 6 problems that should of took 20 minutes.. and I got 2 of them right out of the 6. I just feel sick to my stomach.. I try to keep telling myself itll get better.. But I can't see that.. I just feel like crap..
