Holiday Blues

Each year my girlfriend and i have been together we have gone on holiday, however this year i am going to be taking a very important medical course in september but my g/f still wants to go away even for a week in august. Ive told her i dont want to go, she has said she will pay for me or for her mate to go as my g/f really wants to go away.

My issue is ive got so much studying to do for this course and i wouldnt enjoy my holiday if i took my work with me (which g/f suggested i should do).

Ive said next year when im hopefully qualified from my course then we can go for a nice long break.

I feel guilty as i feel im letting her down.

rambini agony auntMaybe you should try to compromise, maybe rather than go for a week, just go for a long weekend somewhere. I understand your need to study but at the same time you need a rest too, and a few days wont hurt but will be enough to show your gf that you have considered her feelings too. good luck x

flower girl agony auntYou should not feel guilty in the slightest if anything she should feel guilty for piling the pressure on. This course is for your career which will set you up for life and if she can not understand that is she really worth all the trouble, you have explained to her that you want to get the course out of the way, tell her you are happy (if you are) to take her friend but that this is something you really want and need to do.

Take care.xx.
