I’m (18F) personally not sad that my S/O (17M) wants to focus more on his studies. In fact, I’m happy for him and want to encourage him. Plus, I will focus on my studies, friends, loved ones, hobbies, etc.

But we can’t talk much because he needs to do his schoolwork for his last year of high school. How can we make a relationship work without much talking? I asked him what we could do and he had no idea.
