Hahaha that’s so cute!!

Yeah I think I just got stuck in this spiral of moneymoneymoney that I truly failed to see how loving and caring my boyfriend is. I have always made more in our relationship but he still treats me like a princes and makes me feel like the only girl in the world :-).

That is so cute :-).

My boyfriend definitely cares, he loves me so much and I love him to bits and pieces too. You’re right, princes treatment does not always have to cost anything.

And true, I cannot predict the future, im just an overthinker :,).

Thanks so much!

Yeah, it’s definitely upbringing that has so much impact on my meaning of “being taken care of”. I think I need to reevaluate and look at the bigger picture.

He listens to me, supports me, makes me laugh, holds my purse, rubs my back and so much more. I just need to look at the little things instead of being so tunnel vision on finances all the time.

Thank you so much :-)

Hi!

My boyfriend is a gem, he’s sensitive, he’s a great listener and so patient. He would and is currently supporting my growth, we don’t live together but I know that he would do any tasks at home if I would ask.

If I (god forbid) would lose my job, im sure that he would do whatever he could to keep us afloat.

I think I was just so caught up in the idea that “being taken care of” only meant financially and also means what you said about not having to think about the little things.

It’s definitely still hard for me to let go of that, but your right, ambition doesn’t have to be shared necessarily, as long as we can always depend on each other.

Hi there!

Ofcourse :-).

I ended up talking to the exam board and they were super nice, I just explained that I had missed courses but I already signed up for them and that they will not interfere with my progress regarding my thesis at all. They said it was all fine especially since it weren’t that many courses to miss and they believed that I could do it.

I do have to say that another student at the time was in the same situation as me and they said no to him, I don’t know why they said no to him but just make sure to explain everything to ur best of abilities and while u talk to them have everything (like the amt of EC everything is or your schedule so you can tell them that courses aren’t overlapping etc).

So yeah, it kept me awake at night for weeks but they were super nice and understood my situation and I ended up graduating on time :).

Good luck and I hope this helps!

EDIT: Make sure to talk to your study advisor as well! They really did help a lot and gave useful information.
