[i]Hi everyone.
I was looking for some support group, after a huge fight with my 4th year med student hubby. He is taking USMLE 2 in September, and the stress is upon both of us. He of course, just thinks it is upon him, determining the future of us and our one year old baby girl. I never expected the stresses that come along with marrying a med student. He started pre med right before we got married and I was thrilled. I still am, I know he will be a great doctor - but I need my husband to be around now. I am fortunate that we are in our home town and have our friends and family around but I haven't really seen him all summer, and he gets so upset when I go out and do things with our daughter - first time at the beach and pool - that he is missing. But I can't just sit home all summer and wait either. Its so hard to tell people that he can't come to that bbq, or that party or whatever- because he is studying. I don't think many people grasp the concept of what is involved here. So I am glad I found this site. So I know Im not alone. He is starting a new rotation tomorrow - and studying like a madman. Of course I complain about not seeing him, and him not being around - but thats normal right? Im not the only one crying about eating dinner alone am I?
