OMG this guy is completely dysfunctional. Tell him to get lost, you don't need him - but you do need your Phd.

Your Phd will outlast an idiot like him. I understand why you are feeling so hurt and used by this guy he has treated you terribly. Seven years is a long time to invest in a relationship and it is really sad that it has come to an end. It is okay to feel to feel sad and angry about it. However you have also invested alot of time in your Phd don't waste that time as well.

Spend some time feeling sad about the situation and then move on, how ever difficult that feels. If you give up on your Phd you are the one who will suffer not him. Don't let him ruin this for you. In a couple of months time you could have your Phd and a fantastic new future ahead of you.

Also for your own good and self respect CUT ALL TIES WITH HIM.

That's brilliant news, well done Pallas :-).

I completely agree with you GoingNuts, the wait is terrible. I don't understand why they don't send all the letters out on the same day. I have got hardly any work done over the last week and a half, I have not been able to concentrate. I was getting myself so stressed over the wait.
