Hi everyone. I'm so happy to know you're all here! My husband is currently doing his internship in general medicine (though planning to specialize, probably in GI). We've been together almost ten years, and married just over a year and a half. I also work full time. We have two kitties; no kiddies 
It's still early in Chicago -- about 10:30 -- and of course, my husband has already been in bed for hours. His schedule has been brutal the past few months, and although he will have a couple weeks off at the end of May, we have to get through two weeks of night float first. I'm dreading it.
I'm feeling very lonely and despondent, and tonight made the mistake of trying to talk to my husband about it. Suffice it to say, the conversation did not go well. He was tired, I was emotional, yada yada yada. So now I'm left feeling guilty and selfish for troubling him when he's so exhausted, but of course still upset and overwhelmed by our current situation.
To make matters worse, I have had reason to suspect I might be pregnant. Turns out I'm not, which is a good thing, because we're strapped for time, money, and space right now. Even so, I was a little bit disappointed, since I am very much looking forward to starting a family. When I confessed to my husband that this may be part of the reason I was feeling particularly emotional, he SO TOTALLY didn't get it.
I got a major brush off (back turn and exasperated sigh, followed by an "I can't talk about this right now"), which left me in tears. I didn't know what to do, so I googled doctor spouse and found this amazing website. Just in the nick of time! Thank you for listening to my rant. I'm feeling much better already.
I love my husband very much, and would go to the ends of the earth to support him, but sometimes I need to be supported, too! Can anyone out there tell me if and when it starts to get easier?
