Has anyone been in a relationship while BF/GF was studying for CFA? How was it? My BF wants to take a break until his test is over in June so wondering if his level of stress is normal?!

Agree with FA1, unless you’re putting immense pressure on him to continue to spend time with you. It’s an intense exam. Give him space, maybe suggest a dinner out once a week to give him a break from the studies. But if you’re complaining about lack of attention from him I can see why he’s suggesting what he is suggesting.

He’s stressed and thinks you’re the problem. Give him his space, and focus on yourself. Focus on your career, your friendships, your workout routine. Try some new hobbies, take some vacations.

PS don’t reach out even when you’re tempted. You’re going to miss him, but this break is the best thing that can happen for you two. So make it a real one.

Sorry...that translates..I need a break from you. Put him on the back burner and focus on your career. We are blessed in that there is always networking that needs to be done, a client invitation to a fundraiser, a lecture etc. Move on.

EXCUSE!! I’m getting married 1 week before I sit for level 3. Realistically he needs to be putting in 2 hours a day into the exam, but unless he’s also pulling 80 hour weeks he’s probably got atleast 4 hours from the time he gets home until he goes to bed. All to say, you make time for what matters to you.
