I don't think that deciding to become a doctor a little later in life is simply a career change. It is also a lifestyle change. If my wife suddenly wanted to make a lifestyle change for our lives I would have reservations too.

Well it seems a good majority declares she's has insecurities about you "changing" and becoming someone else than the person she married, well other than squid of course, you're the one with the issues. I don't agree with that at all. In that case ppl who would like to change their careers all need therapy then.

it that lil kim clijsters? if so, I watched her get defeated by Venus last Sunday at Stanford. It was so heartbreaking
holy crap silver.
They BOTH need to TALK it out. Since they cannot agree together, then they'd have to have an abritrator to help them out, if they want to keep the marriage from desolving into cat fights and the blame game.
But I don't agree that ppl who want to change their careers in general doesn't need therapy to make that decision valid.

Well, I'm kinda in the same kind of situation, except it's my man doin' the hating. Although he doesn't straight out and say it (unless he's very very mad), he'll make little suggestions that I'm not spending enough time with him, etc. etc. And I wonder, how's it gonna be if I actually do get into med school and he doesn't see me for days on end?

we came to a compromise that helps the entire family and is less risky. i will finish school getting a teaching degree and take the mcats. if i do really poorly with gpa/mcats and dont get into a school(he knows the dean of UIC) then I will get a job teaching science, otherwise if I get in to UIC, we agreed that my wife would be supportive. Overall the counseling really helped things. I'm actually glad I did it.
