I am a masters student and my boyfriend is a PhD student in the same program.
We have been together for 2 years now.
I am about to graduate and finding it extremely difficult to maintain this relationship. I constantly feel that he does not find time for me. I understand that he is busy and understand the pressures of grad school. What troubles me is that he finds time for all other personal activities he wants to get involved with. I feel he is over committed with being on committees, volunteering and all. He just forgets me but expects me to be there. I have been very supportive in the past but now I have grown tired of his attitude. I think he just takes me for granted.
Should I just hang in till he finishes his PhD and hope that things would change once his PhD is over? or Should I just break up and get moving with my life?
I have thought about breaking up with him but I think I really like him and feel a little weak and selfish in doing so.
Please help me with your experiences on how to survive your partners PhD. I know it in my heart , I want to make it work. Please help me.
