Besides the sexual innuendo of my title. Im 25 in grad school and had a long distance relationship that was nearing three years. I kept sacrificing and giving and becoming beta and unhappy. Reading several differnet books that you suggested and other sources I have found online. Assessed my life, was sick of the one way train to beta-ville. Broke up with her, and have been doing whatever I want, seeing friends, working out and hitting on woman. The weight has been lifted and I plan to go for my doctorate and travel in the next few years. A woman should be a compliment to my life, NOT THE FOCUS

tl:dr: Broke up wiht 3 year gf, improving self and loving life! THANKS TRP
