I am married and will be starting medical school next fall. Will we see eachother all the time? Doubtful. But do we see eachother all the time now? NO WAY!! It would drive us crazy!! We are both very independent, and have our own interests, so even when we are home at the same time, we are often not in the same room. As I've said before on this board, I worked 50 hours a week while I went to school full-time for my undergrad, so we didn't see eachother too much when we were dating either. I guess it depends on the type of couple you are. If you spent every waking minute together before med school, you may have a rougher time adjusting. We've known this time would come for years now, so we've had plenty of time to talk about it and plan. I think it is completely possible to make time for the most important person in your life while in med school, you just won't see the person all the time. I do know some people who went off to med school and their spouse stayed in their home town. I'm lucky that my husband has a very portable job and he can come with me. The way I see it, this is 2-4 years out of 40 more to spend with my husband, so in the grand scheme of things it is not really a big deal. If both try hard enough and care to make it work, it will. At least that's what we plan to do!
