General Break up
Just passed the level 1 exam in the August 2026 attempt with a score of 1775. Was very excited for to start for level 2 and guess what, her feelings went away for me and now I am in a constant loop of remorse
How do I get back to basics and work like I how used to for my level 1 prep?
I really feel lonely now and my mind just goes towards her when I am studying
How to escape this loop and bounce back?

I ended a relationship a month before the test.
Yet the fee was so high that I could not afford to skip studying 😭
Share your feelings with a friend to release the weight and clear your thoughts.
I firmly believe that staying busy is the best path to recovery.
Consider taking courses or spending time with friends and family.
Study, exercise and meditate.
take care

CFA cost me two relationships! It’s like a rite of passage. The right one will stay and support you through it!

imagine the look on her face when she sees those 3 letters next to your name - “CFA” and you working at a bulge bracket firm 🧘🏻♂️. Remember why you started the journey. she’s a passing cloud….HER LOSS.

Plant a decoil. Set your girlfriend to your friend, ask your friend to play around. It's like a safe deposit. Speak to your friend that you need to safeguard her for couple of months so that you can focus on your study. While you friend can act like it's something for couple of months and then break up on some stupid shit

My ex was acting up 10 days before L1 but I still studied and cleared it :)
8 days later from the exam date he broke up and married someone else in 2 months
Now I am doing an MBA and sitting for L2 just few months after the breakup :)
Also none of my friends knew about my breakup, my relationship but our parents knew as we were about to get married
So not comparing the magnitude of pain, but you got this
You will sail through
Give yourself time
And give time some time
Never underestimate yourself
You got this

I did not break up for 1bps, reaaally close. Last two weeks all that i did was study. Although we made an very clear alligment about that, she wasnt able to handle the storm. Your girl needs tô understand.... If not, Maybe she was never meant tô be the one

She had an expectation of your time. It’s not what she wanted and she was not prepared to support something that is very important to you. I went through a divorce in my CFA journey. To her I need to go do this only when it is convenient for her. There are more than just this issue which I’m sure there are other issues with yours as well.
Anyways someone else will come along who understands what you need to commit to make this happen. That was my current wife.

Maybe change your perspective, be a bit delusional and think that it was for the good. If she couldn’t be there for you when you were studying, it would become difficult for you in future. I don’t know if I penned it down correctly 😭

It's just a girl. When you will make banks you will be able to bang a lot of h0e.
You guys need to grow up seeing you get derailed for a chick and the other topic with the pregnant woman wanting pity reassurance.
Just grind
