My husband started residency this year and I am starting to feel kind of lonely since he is not around so much of the time, especially when he is on call overnight. It doesn't really help that I don't know a lot of people in NY since I moved here from Boston. Just wondering if there's anyone else out there with the same situation, and how you are dealing with it. Any new hobbies or club suggestions would be most welcome. I am actually thinking about going back to school for post-bac, but it doesn't start until January.

Also, to all you guys asking about the best time to get married or whether to wait until after med school, I say don't wait. Time is too precious and I can't even tell you the # of times my husband has told me that he couldn't have made it through med school without the support. We actually met right before he started his first year of med school and dated long distance through his first two years. He was a straight A student and still managed to drive up to Boston for the weekend at least once a month to see me. I moved to NY after graduating college and we moved in together prior to his third year, then got married (after living together for almost a year). I have seen so many posts here about whether or not this is a good idea, but if you believe you are meant for each other, nothing will stand in your way. Go for it and you will be happy!!!

thank you so much for your statement about not waiting, that is what I have been waiting to hear. if you had some time I would like to talk to you about it. About NY, I don't know much I go to school at Boston University. but best of luck

I love your post b/c it is my life right now. I am dating a second year medical student and yikes has it been crazy. He is on his rotations currently and I feel so bad asking for his time. He is so amazing and generous buyt sometimes I feel like I am waiting around. Waiting for him to wake up from call the night before, waiting for him to finish studying. I have a crazy job but when I come home I too feel lonely and needing something for my hands to be involved in. Reading so far has been my friend or browsing the internet. I love Tom soooo incredibly much and are planning a wedding in the next year or so also. So please ladies in my shoes please email me or im me back I would love the vhat with you sometimes.

My husband and I got married a year before med school and know that he is in residency, I think med school was so nice. Now, we (2 small daughters) rarely see him. This is very difficult. My oldest asks where daddy is all the time . On a positive note, I have really grown so close to them and when my husband does come home, he is the best dad!!!!!! Despite being lonely at times, I would not change a thing.
