Break up before big exam

My boyfriend had just completely out of the blue broken up with me. I am devastated, and it was a complete shock, we have had a really nice weekend and he told me how happy he was and that he loves me over and over. This morning we woke up and he told me he didnt feel the same about me anymore :frown: We were together for 15 months, and had so many plans. I know that to try and get over it I am supposed to go out with my friends and concentrate on myself. I cant think about anything i just keep breaking down in tears, I miss him and us so much. the problem is i have an exam on friday morning. He knew how scared I have been about it, and how much I need to revise and do well, and I'm really not confident about it. And now he has done this. I'm not too sure what I am asking, but can anyone give me any advice at all? Please :frown: thankyou xxx

anyone :frown:


as harsh as it sounds, see it as his loss ! Go do your exam, do the best you can, ( im sure you'll do wicked ) and show him what he's missing out on :smile:
**Hugs OP **
:frown: that really sucks...did you try talking to him?

Does he have exams too? Exam stress can put a lot of pressure on a relationship (as I am finding out the hard way) because you tend to take your anxiety out on each other.

How old are you? Are these GCSEs or A levels?

You may get back together when it blows over, you may not. All you can do is remind yourself that your future is more important than a guy who is enough of an idiot to break up with you when you most need his support.

Chin up, and good luck.
aww poor you. Just really try and concentrate on your work, keep thinking to yourself that if you manage to revise till friday then all will be fine. My advice would be to get yourself to the library...i know you probably won't want to even leave the house but at least in the library you won't be so tempted to sit and do nothing or think about it so much. Think of all the previous work you have put in and how badly you want to do well in this exam. Good luck! xx

Knuckle down and revise, it'll take your mind off him. At first you'll keep thinking of him but don't give up and eventually you'll find you are thinking about the work not your ex.

Well he is 23 and has a job, and I'm 18 just doing my A Levels. I can't believe he has done this.

Thankyou everyone for your advice. It makes it worse that I don't want to be alone right now but my family have gone on holiday and my friends are at work/uni :frown:

I feel so alone, he was the one that I would talk to when I felt bad and now I feel like I have noone. I feel so stupid for getting so upset when he clearly doesnt care about me but I can't stop crying. It was just such a shock.

Well then he is a clearly an idiot.
You have your whole life ahead of you, and it starts right here with these exams.

You are obviously far too good for him. Show him what he's lost.
You can do it.

have you been concentrating more on exams than him? or has the topic of exams come up more often than others?

right now you need to turn all your upset into positive energy for revision!

Easier to say than to be done i know, but try not to let this take over right now.Who knows what will happen after these exam, you may get back together, but you may not.

He may have had reasons like feeling not so wanted or something, but f not then is he worth pining over if he is able to break up with you at a time like this..

Good luck with your exams! (i too am going through a break up type something and doing A-levels so definatly can sympathise)
Hun, I'm in the same situation and I know they behave as if we never mattered to them!
Deal with it properly. After Friday. You have to put yourself first, right now. It's too easy to waste time in relationship grief and self pity. Do yourself the justice of fulfilling your potential on Friday. The rest can wait.

Hey, I'm going through the same thing you're describing although 9 years later lol. I'm doing my A levels as well and he asked me for time, how did you manage to concentrate for your exams?
I don't think people realise this thread was created in 2009.
It's now 2018.
I think she's well over him by this point :P
Hi im dealing with it too. But a very good advice is to go to cafe's and work work work hard for that exam. We all need to love ourselves first before guys like those. You will get over this, hun. Trust and have faith in the Lord also <3
