Hi all,
I don't know if this is appropriate for the general board but I'm SOOOO excited that I can't even wait right now.
My boyfriend is an M1 in Cleveland and moved from Boston (where I live) about 4 months ago. We're doing the long distance thing and although we're making it work, it has been hard. We haven't once wavered in our commitment but obviously we miss each other a lot.
We've talked about a lot of options including me moving but my job is amazing, I just got a promotion, and our families will not be supportive unless we're engaged.
Last week I was on a business trip with my boss and we were talking about a coworker (much more senior than I) who works off site. And my boss offered, totally unsolicited, "I will let you work offsite next year." I couldn't believe it, it was more than I'd hoped for. It means that I don't have to be scared I'm going to lose my job just to move.
**SO**, I talked to my BF and we've worked out what we're going to do. I will alternate weeks or go two weeks on two weeks off in Cleveland and stay with him while I'm there. That way I maintain my friends and my job and my apartment in Boston in case it gets too stressful. Sometime in 2008 we will buy a place in Cleveland together, get engaged, and move in together. That's always been the plan but I was so stressed that I'd have to wait until late 2008 and have to find another job. I'm SO excited!!!!!!!! This means starting in January I'll see him at least 2 weeks a month and I can keep my job even if I move to Cleveland full time. This is the best solution ever and it makes the next few months bearable.
YAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, sorry I know that was quite rambly but I think you're the only people who might understand how stressful long distance is when he's got tests, shadowing, anatomy, physical diagnosis, etc. etc. blah blah blah. and an inflated sense of self importance that he and all his classmates have to be deflated from when they hang out with someone not in med school.
