Being the bf/gf of a med student is hard. We clean, cook, take stuff to the dry cleaners, buy gifts, make albums, flex around schedules...and still try to be sexy and easy-going all at once. Here is my wishlist as a significant other:
1. Flowers, even if just one (even if picked from the hospital garden)
2. A plan/surprise for a romantic night (even if it involves renting a movie for 4 dollars and ordering a pizza for $12)
3. A hand-written letter, or a sincere e-mail longer than 3 lines.
4. The choice to sleep well the night before a planned date instead of going out with "buds" until 4 am and then being all tired for the date.
5. "What would you like to do this weekend?"
6. "Am I meeting your needs?"
7. "How can I be better?"
8. "I'd like for you to meet my friends, and I'd like to meet yours."
9. "Tell me more about your own career goals and aspirations. How can I be supportive of them?"
10. "Hi, just calling real quick during my lunch break-- I have a 30 minute lunch, but I came outside to call you for 5 minutes... I've been missing your voice."
11. "I'll drive this time"
12. "I'm a poor student, but we'll figure something out!"
Yes, it all sounds corny doesn't it ? But for me these things go a long way. Does anyone feel like I do? Am I too demanding? Are my feelings normal? Do all relationships with med students feel one-sided even if they tell you mow much they love you and are total sweethearts?
