It's exam time and my boyfriend is stressed and its like walking on egg shells. I know you're all gonna say its only natural to get stressed but we're arguing quite a bit cos of it. We had a lovely weekend, we've been back in uni like 3 hours and hes miserable saying hes stressed and hasnt done enough revision for his exams. He often makes me feel guilty for spending too much time with him :/ I never stop him doing his work, he had essays to do and i stayed away didn't text him or anything but hes easily distracted and when he hadnt done the work he wanted to do i had the whole "I put people before my work" speech, as if its aimed at me. I suppose really i just wanna know how to deal with it. I'm fed up of walking on egg shells, i keep away from him so he can revise but he just gets distracted by the internet. I tell him to disconnect it and it just ends up in more arguing. Should i just keep my mouth shut and keep my distance? Anyone else in the same situation? xx

If you're already keeping your distance and not being the problem then he can't really blame you. You probably shouldn't get involved either though, sounds like it just winds him up and he's looking to pass the blame on...

If it were me, I just keep away for a couple of weeks. But, back when I was younger, I'd have kicked up a fuss so it's probably age saying that.

I guess the only way to think about it is that it will be over really soon, then you have a really long summer which is gonna be really fun. He might be being a teeny bit annoying right now, but it's not permanent and it's certainly not your fault and revision/exams always bring out the worst in people.

well looks like this could escalate if you keep arguing, so try encouraging him to work!
if that doesnt work then just accept the blame if you still wanna be with him!
