<p>good luck AdamantineX....</p>
<p>Stop showering, eat garlic before kissing her, don't change your socks in weeks and take off your shoes as soon as you see her, fart and burp at the same time while eating with her, never pay for her meals and demand that she pays for yours, flirt with other girls and present her as your sister, etc...</p>
<p>I've yet to hear a better idea than telling her you're gay.</p>

<p>Hey, just wanted to say I was in the same situation. The only way out of it is to put your foot down, and keep it down for however long it might take. Don't be firm for a week then just let the other person go back to their old habits, make it a point everyday, drive it into the ground. Eventually the other person will take the hint and act appropriately.</p>
<p>This is a really common thing, having a girlfriend who demands your time when you need to focus. In fact, a similar kind of thing happens throughout life, to be honest.</p>
<p>The key is to find balance. The easiest way to find balance is to make clear rules with her -- "I can only hang with you Thursday and Friday night and Saturdays all day and Sunday morning" or whatever. If she doesn't go along with this plan, time to move on. Sorry, you gotta grow some balls. If you keep focused, you'll have more and better opportunities for girlfriends in the future.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>This is all very "On a very special episode of College Confidential...."</p>
<p>Things.....have changed on this board.</p>
<p>Quite the opposite in my case. </p>
<p>My girlfriend teaches 6th grade and has already been through a lot of the classes I'm currently in now when she was getting her degree. She helps me tremendously.</p>
<p>If not for her I would have never gotten this far to begin with.</p>
<p>You are a lucky man Edward.</p>
<p>you should marry her!</p>
<p>Edward may just be the first guy on CC with a helicopter girlfriend :)</p>
<p>I have to help my wife in all her online english classes. When I say help, I mean I practically have to do it for her. I don't even feel like doing my own work this semester, but when its combined with her work too....man it sucks.</p>
<p>Now that I read these posts I realized that I'm pretty lucky with my girlfriend. She really supports me and understands that I have to study most of the time and can't spend so much time with her. </p>
<p>Sometimes she studies with me even though she doesn't have to do anything, just so we can spend some time together. She arranged her schedule so that when I go to school she goes to class/work early, so we can go together even though it's kind of inconvenient for her.</p>
<p>One time I even caught here studying for me ; ) She knew I had several exams the next week so she pretended she had to study a lot (which we did together) just so I would study more ; ))</p>
<p>You seriously just need to break up with her. You already stated that you were over it... and even if she wasn't conflicting with school, over it means you're done. If anything you should break it off because it's not fair to her that you're not 100%. I just had to do the same thing with my boyfriend. =</p>
<p>And not to backpedal here but to Lackofsense, who mentioned putting an "o" between "CC"... I actually go to a CCC CALLED COC! (College of the Canyons.) Ok, that's all.</p>
<p>Good luck. Girlfriends will come and go, especially at this age.</p>
<p>Ok after reading my last post I realized that my wife has helped me with my school work as well. I'm in higher classes than her so it is hard for her to help me much. And if I look at the overall picture, she cooks, cleans and basically takes care of me. So yea, I guess it evens out.</p>
<p>well i told her that i want to break up and there were tears on her eyes... and i told her to get out of the car. i think it was good, but her nintendo ds and underwear are still at my place =(</p>
<p>Good for you AdamantineX. Of course she is upset. Break ups are NEVER easy for either party. You can drop her stuff off to her later, but don't have her come over to your house. It's easier to leave her place than to get her to leave yours if things get sticky.</p>
<p>Break ups are the worst. :( But good for you, AdamantineX. Glad to hear you're putting your dreams first.
adriennevy...I go to COC too!</p>
<p>nixietink: Small world! I saw another guy here who's location was "Canyon Country." I'm just taking one class there right now, I got my AA from Moorpark but we moved to Valencia during my last semester. On my first day of classes this sem. I walked past some girls chatting and one says (no joke,) "My mom will buy me purses and Gucci sunglasses, but not no books." UGH. I hate this city.</p>
<p>"well i told her that i want to break up and there were tears on her eyes... and i told her to get out of the car. i think it was good, but her nintendo ds and underwear are still at my place =("</p>
<p>underwear? if it's that kind of relationship, there is a simple solution.</p>
<p>check out hot girls and try hitting on them while blowing off your girl, that ought to either 1. break off the relationship immediately or 2. make her change since that is a very strong clue that you don't like her and when she gets mad just say that you bet that the girl you just checked out probably would not be clingy. </p>
<p>i know my advice is a little over the top ( just a bit), but seriously problems call for drastic measures.</p>
