jdovez said:Its a tough call, but if you love them then its worth a shot no? If logistically it is too difficult, then that tells you how committed all parties are to the relationship. I am in the same position, but luckily my girlfriend is very understanding and willing to accompany me. But, as such, in choosing a medical school, I will now take her considerations into account. This makes the choice of a suitable med school and city a challenge for the BOTH of us. Good luck to you!
VPDcurt said:Last year my girlfriend asked me the following question: "If you got into UConn med school, would you go there?" I answered, "yes," and then she punched me in the face and gave me a black eye. Needless to say, she was crazy and the relationship came to an abrupt end. I don't know why it was such a shock to her - I am from CT and she knows that UConn has always been my #1 choice. All she wants to do is teach elementary school and there are plenty of those jobs up in CT I'm sure. Anyway, as if the punch to the face wasn't enough, she called on the cops on me one night at 4am and told them that I stole her TV (this was obviously not the case) after I broke up with her. She also told all of our mutual friends from college that I was abusive during our relationship - give me a break. Sounds like a great girl, right? Bottom line - I officially don't trust women right now and there is no way I would ever move just to be with someone right now. On the flipside, I wouldn't expect someone to move with me wherever I go.

The effect of the decision was that it affected the affect that he was trying to effect.
Affect - verb - to influence
Affect - noun - more or less like demeanor
Effect - noun - result
Effect - verb - to bring about a result

My girlfriend is the one who will be applying to medical schools. It has never really even been a question of whether I will move to be with her or not. I love her and can't imagine being without her...of course I will do whatever it takes to be with her. No medical schools where I'm at, so I will be moving out of state. Yeah, it'll be a hassle and tough to find a new job and of course there are risks in doing so, but ultimately, its well worth the effort.
I'm sure she'll take into account the type of place I'd want to live in if those options are available, but in the end, it's her decision and I will support her whatever she chooses to do as best I can.
EpointH said:I'm in the same position, except with New York. The way I see it, though, is that you shouldn't do anything that's going to make you bitter in the future. If being in Chicago is going to make you upset for the next four years, you will probably carry some of that resentment into your relationship and then even though you're in the same city, things might be strained anyway. And if you should break up, then you're stuck in a place you don't necessarily want to be.
That said, long distance isn't exactly a picnic either, so there's no perfect solution. If anyone finds one, let me know!! 😉
and this is only just the beginning.....funshine said:hahaha!!
just had to share.
When i first read the title of this thread, i thought it said "Is your significant other Suffering while you go to med school?"
suffering from neglect that is, cuz you're so busy studying
