At the same time my boyfriend of 9 years, who has just started his PhD has decided that he can't deal with doing that and having a girlfriend, doesn't want to have a relationship anymore. I feel like he has just ripped the rug out from under my feet, but I am also angry because I have supported him both emotionally and financially for the past 2 years while I have been trying to do my doctorate at the same time. Now when I could really do with some support he has decided he doesn't want to be there. I'm really stressed about everything, spend a lot of time just crying, and just generally feel exhausted mentally and physically. From the nature of my work I also spend a lot of time on my own which doesn't help much, but I can't really do anything about it.I still love him dearly, although I know this is waste of time. I was just wondering if someone could give me few words of advice! Many thanks

 Don't be a mental cripple.
You have your own two feet and you do not need a crutch .
Believed in yourself and nobody else as God has given you
more than enough to do what you are capable off.
You only have to tap into God's power for all your needs and happiness.

The jobs you both are working towards are very stressful and it might be he feels anxious, hurried. Maybe he just doesn't want to hurt you by ignoring you. Maybe he wants to get his profession going so he can have a good place for a relationship. Maybe the relationship was distracting. I think that maybe you should ask him if that's the reason. Communication is very important.
