hi,
i looked through the forum for partner/spouses of medical students and it wasn't all that encouraging. i was wondering if any of you are married or in relationships and if/how you are preparing your partners for being with someone who is going to medical school. i am applying for fall of 2007 and i've started to discuss medical school with my boyfriend of 3 years. he plans to move with me wherever medical school takes me. we currently live together and spend A LOT of time together. i told him that i would not be able to give him nearly as much attention as i do now. he feels very insecure. he's scared i'll make new friends and he will be the last on my list because he's not into medicine. i don't feel that he has anything to worry about, but i don't know how to explain things do him. can anyone give me advice? does anyone have horror stories? is anyone going through the same thing?
thanks,
bfk
