New here

Hi,

I'm new to this board but have been lurking for a while. It is absolutely delightful to see so many ladies (and gentlemen) who are also working through the travails of a medical marriage.

In my case, my hubby is a first year resident and we just moved to our new residency location. We don't really know anyone and things are rather stressful for him with all of the new stuff going on, especially after a bumpy couple of years in medical school. We are working through this and making reasonable adjustments for the sake of our marriage, future, and our beautiful 3 children.

Well I'll be around!

Welcome to the community from another fairly new member. I just moved to meet up with my SO in a new community and he really knows no one from his past year being here since he rarely sees the light of day. Anyway, long story long, I understand the feeling of it being lonely in a new place. Hopefully with your children getting active in school and other events you will be able to meet others. I wish you luck!

Hi there and welcome!
Tell us more about yourself when you settle in

Welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you! It is difficult getting used to a new town. I hope you're able to get connected soon. It does get easier when you've made some friends.

Welcome! I am new here too and have figured out that this is a great place to know that you aren't alone on this insane ride

Thanks ladies

Thanks to you all, what a great, supportive group. Yeah, being a medical spouse can really be hard but it doesn't really compare to what they go through in the hospital. As sticking by my husband's side and helping to get him get through it is what I intend to do, you all will be a helpful sounding board for things. I've really enjoyed reading about all of your experiences thus far.

Welcome from a fellow newbie!

I hope you're able to find the support and knowledge you need here!

I too have been perusing the boards and have found the stories and experiences shared on here comforting, informative, encouraging, and sometimes scary. But even the scary ones remind me that this is not an easy ride for anyone and I'd better get prepared now!

Yeah, being a medical spouse can really be hard but it doesn't really compare to what they go through in the hospital.

What they do at the hospital is really rough but I think being the other spouse can be just as difficult in a different way - often times it is the non-medical spouse who not only makes sacrifices but is the glue that holds a medical family together (I just want to make sure you are giving yourself enough credit!)

Do you work outside the home, go to school or are you a SAHM? Tell us more about yourself!

and nice to meet you!
