View submission: Teaching during a breakup
To make it worse—his mom is a teacher. Student teaching is ROUGH and he didn’t want me to be like this the rest of our lives, which I know I won’t. I know I need help for other issues, but I also know that teaching was the nail in the coffin for us because I was so busy and drained.

Hate to sound callous but it sounds like you dodged a bullet. Partners support each other, even more so when the going gets tough. Remember that you deserve the world and don’t settle for less.

Having gone through a similar bit, I was in college, girlfriend at the time decided we were over when I decided I was going to go full in for being a teacher. She felt I was changing to something she wasn't prepared to be with anymore. It SUCKED. Took a long time to get beyond, but in the long run, was likely the best. For both.
