I was dating this amazing girl and everything seemed to be going fine. Out of nowhere she decided to end things with me. She said she can't balance a relationship because of grad school. I was fine with seeing her whenever she did have time, but she said it's not fair to me and while she'd be willing to continue something after she finishes school, it'll be a long time and she'd feel bad about keeping me waiting like that. She said she likes me and feels terrible about doing this because I've been amazing, but it's the best thing for her. I'm just so confused and heartbroken.

While I respect her decision, I wish so much that we could have tried to work something out because I really didn't mind giving her time and space if she was busy with school work. And she really was everything I've ever dreamed of. I've never felt this way about anyone else. She still wants to be friends, which I am okay with. I don't intend to wait for her, but I keep hoping that this isn't the end and that we will get back together after she's done with school because I simply cannot get over how amazing and different she really is.

I know it's going to take time to feel better, but this really broke my heart and I feel so sick right now. This was the best thing that has happened to me, after everything I've been going through for my entire life and dealing with a horrible depression. I just can't believe I got to see it all and have yet another thing be taken away. I appreciate the fact that she'll probably still be in my life. But my heart has just been shattered...
