Hi jegresits
My husband & I met when we were around your age. We were at college together. We went out when we could ~ and we were studying as well. Plus sports and other commitments, etc.
People need people. You cannot just turn off all relationships when studying is involved. You just have to allow each other time to work, as well as being there for each other.
I don't really understand why you felt the need to break up ~ especially as you don't seem happy about it.
Why couldn't you just agree to only spend time together when the workload wasn't too high?
You say 'it was really hard for her to balance me with school/work/homework/theater' ~ so was this her decision?
If so, then I think you need to know why this was such a problem.
Was this just an easy way of breaking up, or does she really hope that you will stay together after the work pressure is over?
Are you at the same college?
Good luck
