The relationship between Yardley Love and George Huguley began while they were both students and lacrosse players at the University of Virginia [03:45:37], [03:48:50], [03:50:52].
Nature of the Relationship

The Breakup and Incident
Yardley Love ended the relationship in 2010, just two weeks before graduation [04:17:17], [04:19:19].

Nine days after the breakup, Yardley was found dead in her bedroom [04:21:21].

George stated he was very upset about this, having conveyed his feelings through emails [17:22:25], [17:27:30]. He mentioned that Yardley was “defensive” because she knew how upset he was [17:22:25].
