As a female myself who is in a long term relationship, I can definitely tell you this girl is either a.) too chicken to break up with you outright, b.) the most selfish person ever, or c.) DEFINITELY BOTH A AND B.

You need to stop even thinking about her and start thinking ONLY about the test. I agree with previous posts: use it as an escape from all of the emotional crap! Preferably not in your apartment, but wherever you have to be to make it work. Every time you start to think of her, do a logic game. Every time you want to "sort stuff out and work on it" do some mind-numbing reading comp, and every time you feel sad, do your own logical reasoning and realize she is being a world class biatch for creating this situation weeks before one of the most important tests of your life.

Seriously dude, a year from now (even less than that) you'll look back at this situation and (I hope, for your sake) be SO glad you put that crap to rest and went all out on this test. Take it from someone who knows from experience, doing really well on this test (and you're obviously capable, scoring in the 165+ range) will transform your life in a way this girl will only wish she could. Good luck to you!! In fact, I hope you never even read this post because you have stopped caring about this for the time being, and therefore stopped reading this thread. Kick some LSAT ass, and then move out of your apartment.

Also, by studying outside of the apt you wont see things that make you think of her/the relationship.


Don't let her drag you down.

Everyone that is telling you F her and just focus on you and your goals is right on the $.

It seems like there is a lot that you keep not telling us, and that we only learn these new tidbits at random points. While the fact remains that you need to get over this bump and study for the LSAT, I am starting to think that you brought this upon yourself. From your last couple posts, it seems that your GF was at least thinking about you, and she was trying to be considerate and let you get through the LSAT before dropping the bomb on you, but you pressured her into making a decision before the LSAT. You were the one who "felt space would be better than...knowing what road we were going down" and now you have the answer, but just can't deal with it.

I was very stern in asking her to leave and that I would make her leave if she was not serious about working through things.

Definitely too chicken to break up with you outright. Which means she is sick of you and wants to see what's out there but likes the emotional crutch and "best friend" you provide. Girls are ruthless, dude. When she finds the next guy and she feels safe that he can be the emotional crutch, she'll drop you like a bad habit.

Just isolate yourself from reality in the library with the LSAT for the next three weeks.

My LSAT instructor for Kaplan got dumped before the LSAT and he said he just studied for two weeks straight and got a 174ish.

I learned the language early on:

"I want to take a break" = I'm not into you, or this, we're breaking up and I'm probably gonna sleep with someone else pretty soon.

"I need some Space" = I'm not into you, or this, we're breaking up and I'm probably gonna sleep with someone else pretty soon.

Sometimes it just means, "I'm breaking up with you forever, but I want to do it gently."

IMO, this is justified. If you cheating on a guy, it is better to just break up, and don't let him know about the cheating. That is just insult to injury.

During your LSAT study breaks, bring some bar bait back to the apartment for some R&R. And by R&R I mean loud, raucous sex.

Disagree. If you are going to play that game who do you think will win? The heart broken (-1)L, or the girl?

Play it totally cold, like it doesn't hurt you at all. If she thinks you don't care at all, that is the worst.

Then you should have broken up before sleeping with some one else. Men will break up for the prospect of something better, which can be stupid. Women like to make sure the next thing is locked down first. It must be an old survival of the fittest thing.
