I know it's too much for me, but I'm not sure how I wouldn't worry about it. Both of us applying for candidacy at the same time has been difficult for our relationship as it is. Both of us are so stressed and high strung and can only provide so much support for each other because we're both stretched so thin as it is. And intimacy isn't really happening because we don't really have time. We knew going into this semester that it would be difficult and it's not like the relationship is in trouble. It's just difficult. I just want us to both make it through this so we can relax a little bit.
