So I have been dating a girl I met in college for 2 years now, and things are getting tough.
She is about to start medical school at the University of Maryland. I am a year behind but applying now. This is obviously a tough situation, because we have become very close, basically to the point where I could see myself with her in the long run....and we talk about that a lot. Both of us going to medical school will probably be the ultimate test, and it just sucks because right now I honestly think that she is more important to me than anything (besides my family).
I really think that it is possible for this to work, and I really want it to, but I have doubts about if I am driven enough. Should I be putting medicine before her? Should I feel badly that I am more concerned with our relationship and really want to go to a school close to her (assuming I get in anywhere)? I know a lot of people on SDN would rip me for this, but I think it's possible to make it through medical school and keep a relationship, I just know it's going to be hard as hell.
I was just wondering what you guys thought, or know of any couples that made it or know any other stories.
She pretty much has the same feelings.
