Hello Everyone!
I am a new member and I cant wait to get involved with other women/men like myself who are seeing their loved one through med school/residency. I have a very special relationship with a man that I am head over heels for. I know that everyones case is special/different, but I'm in a relationship with someone who is still an undergrad! I am a 29 year old grad student studying Italian. My significant other is a (VERY mature!!!) 22 year old undergrad getting his degree in bio chemistry and psychology. We started dating a little less than a year ago. While our relationship is fabulous (we are each others match in every aspect-raising kids, politics, etc), I am very worried about what the future may hold. I am 29 and he is 22. I'm not sure if he's ready to make a decision about us that is so serious. The decision being "does he take me with him to med school across the country or does he pursue this on his own"? We live in Michigan right now and he is applying to schools out of state as far as Hawaii (which he just got an interview to!). His dream is to go to med school in California. I am so proud of him, but I am scared for what this will do to our future. He wrote an email to my best friend one time a month or two ago. In his email, he basically said "I love Nancy, but I'm not sure what to do about the med school thing. Do I start this process alone, leaving everything that I had in my past in the past or do I bring the best part of my past with me into my future?" Keep in mind we've only been dating for a year-ish. I have been in other relationships before and I can tell you that I've never felt this way about anyone. Trust me, I'm a very level-headed 29 year old....it freaks me out sometimes that I'm dating a 22 year old! haha Anyways, if any of you could give me some advice or ease my worried thoughts about this, I'd be really grateful. Thank you so much! Have a great day!!!
