relationship problems around exam time

we are at the same uni and have been going out for 2 years but in separate halls. The last 2 weeks we have been arguing more is this normal around exam time have any other couples experienced this?

It's fairly normal I think. :smile:

Don't worry about it. Just give each other a bit of room.

My boyfriend and I aren't arguing during exams, but we aren't spending as much quality time together as I'd like. It's a shame because I feel under a lot of pressure to pass but for him it's relatively easy. Oh well, it's all over for me on Monday!

Yes, my boyfriend and I have been arguing. In our case it was because he wanted to have a difficult conversation about something and was putting it off until after the exams, but the problem obviously wasn't going away.

Yes, me and my boyfriend argue constantly around exam time, we always make up after though and agree that its probabaly just stress.

Yeah, my boyfriend and I had one small fight and one really big one this week because I'm stressed out and he's upset that he can't see me. If you're both committed though hopefully you should be able to fix things.

I have no idea how I'd cope in an exam if we split up.

Knowing the way i am and feel about my boyfriend if he dumped me i probably wouldn't make it to the exam cos i would spend about a week at least in my bed crying my eyes out seeing and speaking to no one, not eating or sleeping.

I got dumped around my january A2 exams needless to say i screwed those up bigtime! Me and my bf don't argue but that's maybe 'coz he's not in uni etc and whenever i say i've done crap in an exam he always reassures me that it won't be as bad as i think. Though i'm sure if he was doing exams we'd probably argue due to stress, so i'd say it's okay.

Its definately normal - I've been going through the exact same thing with my boyfriend. I've just put it down to me being totally stressed out about exams (my boyfriend doesn't do A levels, its just me) so I just get pissed off at even the tiniest things..

Pretty normal your both likely to be a bit stressed out even if you dont realise it and therefore a little more on edge and easily wound up! Also depending on how you deal with exams you may not be seeing as much of each other as usual so your whole 'routine' is kinda outta sync!

That's me, except I sleep in too late cos there's no reason in my mind to get up. My boyfriend dumped me just before my exam period started and I almost didn't make it to the exams. I did no revision so I'll have definitely failed. I was supposed to resubmit an essay as part of the course unit and also hand in another essay but I didn't even do it. I tried but just gave up. I wish he'd waited until after the exams. I think I'll have to drop out, I don't know how I'll get through this year without failing.
