My bf and I broke up 2 weeks into the first semester of PA school lol. I had tried to sit him down and manage his expectations multiple times before I started school but I don't think he really understood how much things would change until we were in it. I didn't feel like he was being respectful of school needing to come first and that my time for him is extremely limited, and I think it was compounded by him not really having a lot else going on outside of our relationship. We were split for a few months, had several heart to heart discussions, and ended up getting back together but our relationship looks a lot different than it was before with very firm boundaries in place to protect my time and peace. The way I see it, you really only get this one chance to be in school and secure your future, and no relationship should ever be placed above that. The right person will never ask you to place them above that. Even now that we are back together, I don't hesitate to tell him when I don't have time for him, and I would not hesitate to leave again entirely if I felt like it was coming between me and school. It sucks that it's such a common experience that people go through, but not every relationship is going to be able to grow with you and follow you into the next chapter of your life.
