    brand new here. :)

    Hello, my name is Ashleigh, and I currently reside in Alabama. However, that's all about to change - my fiance (he's in New York) is a fourth year med student. I thought I'd get a head start and join you guys before the big move/leap of faith.

      welcome Ashleigh,

      We have several members who have survived long distance relationships. Hopefully you will find what you are looking for here.

      I look forward to meeting you more below.

        Ashleigh, welcome to the boards - my DH and I spent 14 months apart so I know how you feel. This place is great, good luck!

          Welcome!

          I'm engaged to a med student, as well. If it weren't for this site I'd be very much in the dark.

          Looking forward to hearing more from you.

            Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to be here - I spent a lot of today just surfing around the boards. I'm obviously not alone in some of my concerns and fears and questions, which is good, and I'm glad to have the chance to get to know people in the same situation.

                  Thanks Flynn! I believe he is going to go into internal medicine.

                    Welcome to the rollercoaster!!!! Where in Alabama are you? I am in New Jersey now, but I am originally from Mississippi. Many med spouses here have survived long distance relationships, you will too.

                      Sometimes during residency it feels like a long distance rel'p when you're living in the same house....

                          Oh Fluffhead you are soooo right. It is long distance between here and the hospital.

                            well having lived in central nj for 14 years, I recall that it can take hours to drive 10 miles....so "long distance" takes on new meanings...
