Today, my girlfriend of 3 years told me that I was part of an experiment for her Sociology doctorate. I also learned that the notebooks she's been writing in for the past three years aren't for her "doctorate in literature" as she had told me, they were notes on my behavior for the past 3 years. FML

Can't be an experiment because if it was, human subjects have to give prior consent. Want to get even, complain to the dean of students that you unwillingly were a human subject for her experiments, feel as though your rights were violated and want to talk to someone at the university about its policies. She'll be F'd.

oh man thats truly awful but im sure feminist19 will troll over and come up with some random defense for the woman

I'm Thinking your girlfriend just came up with a clever way to break up with you and knew you wouldn't be smart enough to know she was full of shit.

if this was real why would she need his consent wouldn't him knowing from the beginning taint the results?

Wow. Do you know ANYTHING about ethics?

I'm pretty sure this is an ethics violation. You can report her to her school's ethics board.

WOAH WOAH WAIT This is the plot to both a movie and play called The Shape of Things Right down to the ******* thesis about how the relationship was an experiment

Blatantly fake FML Universities have these things called "ethics guidelines" Jeez This would never have got past her supervisor, let alone academic committee, registry, and HR approval.
