My boyfriend went abroad to do a Phd . Im not sure how our relationship will handle this distance or even if this can woek. He is in his first month and its been rough
@@BethologyScience I needed this. My partner is getting a PhD and we are a year in he was in his program before we met. The transparency of this video is amazing and helpful ❤ thank you. Question do you both find it difficult to show up mentally emotionally and sexually?
Loved this!! And it’s so nice that you do completely different things - I think I’d be sooo stressed being in a relationship with another PhD student hahah. If you’re looking for ideas to quiz Zach on your project, feel free to use the questions from my ‘How well does my boyfriend know me: PhD edition’ video ☺️☺️
My bf is doing the last 6 months of his phd and has decided to close out all his friends, family and me for his final write up and I'm finding it really hard to understand why he cant even have a zoom call once a week or something. Tbh im lucky when I get a voice message rather than a text (we message every morn and evening). I feel guilty putting any pressure on him, but want to be there to help him though his stress and see him occasionally but he gets stressed talking about it or meeting up. Is this a normal response for the final period of phd and do you have any advice for me surviving the next few months with no idea on the next time I will see him. Thank you, your video was very informative
Hey, I’m so sorry to hear that must be very difficult for you. Hopefully this is just a temporary thing for him to keep focussed. Everyone has a different way of working, for me I really relied on support from my partner, friends and family but I also knew that I couldn’t keep up socially with everyone when I was in the final stages of writing up. I was quite selective about how I spent my time but I also ensured I took breaks. I hope it gets better!
@@BethologyScience Thank you, I finally pushed him for an honest answer of how he felt about me and he said he was leaning towards us being friends rather than anything more. I was really hurt as I went through months of painfully waiting for him to have time for me to find out he didnt love me like that anymore. I broke up with him and am now free but I am in agony and miss him still, about a month on
