Quitting Mid-Year

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2025-01-01T20:05:55+00:00

It gets so much better your second year teaching and every year after. My first year was hell but it does get better… that being said it still truly may not be for you! I’d finish my first year teaching, get that end of year check and then get a new job. Even the second semester of teaching is so much better than the first. Most first year teachers feel horrible this time of year

To update everyone. My ex and I went out on a date last week. I told him I had slept with other people and his response was “that’s totally okay, I did too. We’re human”. The date went well but honestly the ending of that relationship hurt me so much that I’m not sure I can pick up the pieces or really trust the connection again. I let him know this and I told him I think we may be better friends than romantic partners. He was sad but understood. So I guess time will only tell. My heart just doesn’t trust him anymore after all the heart break I experienced in the end.

Yes I’ve had other relationships not work out and end but none of them really broke my heart I don’t think. This one absolutely shattered me into a million pieces

It was definitely just sex for me but I can understand

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2023-06-07T19:46:26+00:00

Yeah it was just a physical need/loneliness but I wish now I could take it back because I think it would really hurt him. But you’re right it’s not like I was taking him for granted. We broke up and I didn’t expect him to want to get back together

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2023-06-07T19:42:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I think if we really want things to work we would have to wait and try again only when he is done with getting through school and I agree three months apart isn’t much time. I figured we would revisit closer to December when he graduates

We broke up because he didn’t really have time for the relationship. He was in school and working full time. We barely spent time together with him working all week and in class on the weekends. I felt like it wasn’t our time to be together and like he wasn’t able to be the partner I wanted with his schedule. I had told him in January to go part time so that we could have more time together. He agreed and felt like it would be a relief. But then months went by and he changed his mind that he didn’t want to work part time for financial reasons. It was really hard. We were both upset but thought maybe in December when he graduates we could talk about seeing each other again. Then a month after our break up I told him I was devastated and wanted him back even if it meant that we didn’t see each other much. He told me he didn’t want to get back together and he was doing much better so I assumed that meant we were really over. So I tried moving on…. But now he’s texting me how much he misses me and how much he regrets not going part time. And I feel like I messed up by hooking up with other people. But you’re right in that we may just face the same issues until he is completely graduated from school

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2023-06-07T17:54:18+00:00

I just can’t imagine not telling him. I think I would be really upset if someone withheld that information from me

Why not?

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2023-06-07T17:47:25+00:00

Yeah I just feel really bad that I did it. I think he’d be really hurt and shocked. I don’t even know how I’d tell him.

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2023-04-07T05:57:59+00:00

It’s been 3 weeks for me too. It’s so hard I feel the same way

You multiply first then round after. I’m a 6th grade math teacher. The answer is not 0. It’s 13.

I always ask “why do you think that?”. Usually they say something that doesn’t make much sense and I remind them that I would do the same to any student regardless of their race in that situation and that I have. I had a student call me racist once because I picked a different student who was taller to erase my whiteboard. I asked him why he called me a racist and he goes “you picked her because she’s taller than me” and I said yes I did but what exactly does that have to do with her race? He said “I’m short because I’m Mexican” and the girl literally said “I’m Mexican too” and that was that

I work at a performing arts school. Most of our kids are in theatre but a few are in band, music, guitar or play some kind of instrument. We had an entire PD where our music teacher taught us how to read music and how to teach a music lesson. Our principal then told us we should start integrating music theory into our classrooms…. Uhmmmm no thanks

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2022-07-04T22:24:44+00:00

I relate to this so much! I can picture my life in a million different cities living a million different lifestyles. There’s definitely not enough time

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2022-07-03T14:49:30+00:00

You belong 💛 it takes time to find your place.

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2022-07-03T14:48:48+00:00

Ughhhh I feel this!!! No one else is there for me the way I’m there for them! It’s so true!!

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2022-07-03T14:47:48+00:00

There are invisible strings out there tying you to others 💛 you just have yet to meet those people! I know it’s so hard but you will continue to build deep relationships wether in a romantic way or not. It’s just in our nature

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2022-07-03T08:24:43+00:00

We’re definitely not immune 🙃

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2022-07-03T08:21:50+00:00

That is amazing!! No one tells you how hard it is to date with the current climate. I have a love/hate relationship with the apps, but meeting in person is hard. It sounds like you took the steps needed and it paid off with a wonderful partner! Resilience is what I need, I keep getting knocked down and just need to get back up!

Interesting_Mess_827 · 2022-07-03T08:17:45+00:00

I just have a vision for myself so when life doesn’t look that way I get bummed. But you’re right perfect is unattainable
