Best thing I was ever told in my break up, "Work is there when love is gone." Frankly beginning of med school is a great time for a break up if it doesn't affect your grades. You'll be busy and lots of people end up meeting the right person in med school or residency. People who don't manage to, attendinghood is a good time. Like everything in med school work/life balance is can be hard to achieve but if you make a point of it you can find time to date and find someone suited to your career.brings me comfort but now i'm scared and don't know how this will work with how bad the hours are going to be.
Oh no this is my residency. I graduated medical school!Best thing I was ever told in my break up, "Work is there when love is gone."

Eh, same difference, advice still applies. That was when my break up was. Still turned out to be one of the best things to happen to me. It took a few years for things to work out that way, but yeah.Oh no this is my residency. I graduated medical school!
1) Crazy in-laws that don’t like you is a red flag. I know everyone thinks that it’ll be some sort of Romeo and Juliet love story...while forgetting how that story ended.
2) You’re an Enders game fan...so you’re cool and will have no problem getting another person.
3) You are more attractive now than you were 6 years ago now that you’re a doctor. Guaranteed.
Sorry about the situation...but try to think of the positives. You didn’t get married and have children...only to get divorced, sending your hard worked money her way.
Haha! The autocorrect made me laugh a bit!If you fat hit the gym
His way! He's also in medicine so I don't know how much it would've affected me financially. I'm a girl hahaha. (refuse to be called woman cause I am in denial of my age lol)
Yeah I agree. I lost 5 pounds in the first week of being there because I wasn't able to eat due to how stressful the atmosphere was.
Thank you. Just alternate between anger and devastation. If Meghan Markle's PRINCE can leave the royal kingdom for her health and well-being, I deserved someone standing up for me... but man what pain it is.
It was actually during engagement - so 2 lol. We were planning to get married December of next year. It was among my top 5 (not top 3). I originally ranked it 15 but I changed it because it was also close to my parents and college friends, so I knew I'd have other things to do/people to see. And 100% I agree it wasn't just MIL - it was his doing. He's known me long enough (YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS) to NOT fall into MIL's talking and he couldn't do the bare minimum of even helping me go to places and move. He made those decisions and made the decisions to say mean things to me and end it within 10 days of me moving there.
Thank you! He didn't even come to furniture stores with me... or the DMV to register... and when I was stuck in walmart for 4 hours trying to pick everything on my own he kept calling asking me to hurry up to help him with his application. If he was busy, I wouldn't have minded but this was his vacation week - 0 commitment anywhere except to relax and couldn't even help me with that!

lol yessss i was
i got mad and told him wtf??? this is your city??? but he said i should've "formally invited him" if I wanted to come to all these places and that "he's not the smartest guy so how would he have known?" lol ok... crazy MIL and other crazy things happened and now we're done lol.
brings me comfort that i'm not a hopelessly lost cause for any future love endeavor ;_; and that at least i'll be too busy during intern year to think about it.
Take your time. I had a rebound after and while it only lasted 6 weeks it was worse than the guy I had broke up with.... which is saying something given that one put hands on me and cheated for 2 years straight behind my back. Other dating was disastrous and gross and compounded the trauma because I wasn't ready and wouldn't be for a while.lol my co-intern made me download the app and i deleted it within an hour because i was so depressed and comparing them to my ex-fiance. I really hope I can meet someone in real life cause these apps are so superficial and just not it for me. I'm happy for people who do find success on these but if I spent another 10 minutes on there, I'd start begging for him to take me back which I do not want to do.
I will say, I don't think there's someone else. We shared locations just cause we did it for a trip years ago and never stopped... and really whenever I facetimed him, he was honestly... at his mom's house. But the controlling MIL is not the reason he was so needy/dependent, so he's at fault too. He chose not to be helpful in adjusting/moving in this new city!!! not to mention, she didn't tell him to say all those mean things to me when he broke up with me. And he's selfish. This is the first time in the relationship it was about ME not about him.
I think I need some serious self-reflection about my self-worth (seems non-existent) and about establishing boundaries and saying no. I don't think I can jump into a relationship at this time or even have the will power to date. My life plans went down the drain in a week and my vision of the future I thought was so obvious is now gone. It's going to take me some time to mull over that. At least I can be happy that I'm closer to family and college friends as well (not the same city/state but close enough for comfort). I was close enough to fly back home and get comfort.
hopefully someone comes around when i least expect it, but don't know how i can trust again. self-esteem is def at an all time low rn and still feel waves of devastation and a heavy sinking heart. praying (and i'm not religious so this shows you how truly in pain i am) that time really heals all wounds.
thank you for all your support
You should take this time to learn about you and who you are...and learn to be a happy person without anyone to make you happy or feel “complete”... you are not going to find someone who will be happy with you if you are not happy with yourself...it’s trite and cheesy, but nonetheless true.I think for me, I'm against apps ;_; just my personal preference.
I do hear what you're saying in this though. I think I need some serious self work so I don't get into this situation again. I was in a physically abusive relationship prior to this one and as a serial monogamist, I've spent 10 years of my life in 2 relationships. i think that therapy is a good starting point for me. i lost a lot of my hobbies since catering to him took so much of my time. probably good to establish who i am outside of monogamous relationships like you did.
I think your idea of seeking therapy is a very good one. You’ve stated here that before this relationship, you were in a physically abusive relationship. The person you just broke up with seemed at the very least selfish, if not bordering on some level of abuse as well.I think for me, I'm against apps ;_; just my personal preference.
