Lady deeply hurt after her boyfriend failed to mention her in his final project acknowledgment, despite her extensive support throughout his academic journey.
The lady expressed her disappointment on a relationship forum, sharing her feelings of neglect and frustration after not being acknowledged for her crucial role in her boyfriend’s academic success.
In her post, she explained that she had taken on a significant amount of academic responsibility on behalf of her boyfriend. From doing his assignments to writing his reports and simplifying his notes for easier understanding, she had been heavily involved.
What left her feeling most unappreciated was that, despite all this effort, her name was notably absent from the acknowledgment section of his final project. The boyfriend had included several names but failed to give credit to her contributions.
She admitted that she had hoped for at least a mention in the acknowledgment, as a gesture of gratitude for her work. The absence of this acknowledgment caused her to feel overlooked and disrespected.
The lady went on to explain the emotional toll it had taken on her, stating that she had started to question her value in the relationship. She was left wondering if her efforts were taken for granted and whether her feelings of disappointment were justified.
She shared her thoughts online, seeking advice: “I supported my boyfriend through his studies by helping with his assignments, report writing, and also breaking down his notes into simpler forms for his better understanding. To my surprise, when he finally completed his project, which I helped with the report, he acknowledged every other person except me. I feel so unappreciated and undervalued. I’m starting to wonder if I was taken for granted. Am I entitled to expect an acknowledgment for my efforts, or is it reasonable that I feel unappreciated considering my effort to his academic success?”
