Yes…we were six months in and then became long distance when my *ex* BF went to Wharton. It was horrible lol. All I can say is that it depends on if you are the person in b-school or the person not in b-school. The person in b-school will be exposed to hundreds of new people, be constantly stimulated in their little bubble, and their priorities will change a lot, including what they define as a long-term relationship (e.g., some people start to care about pedigree more or their partner’s family’s background, etc etc.) This is a generalization though and I don’t know your relationship so it could be an exception.

How new is new

It can work out, but I think it’s just important that you both have expectations. You’re likely going to be really busy balancing school, recruiting, social, etc.

Think it’s just important the other party knows what they’re getting into.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao
