We were non-traditional too. My husband was an accountant before going to medical school. When we got married, I was more than 10 years out of law school and had just made partner in a national law firm. When my collegues heard I was marrying a medical student, they thought I was a cougar and were surprised to find he has more grey hair than I do. I did the telecommuting thing for 2.5 years too. It's very isolating. So is being a SAHM. Over the years, I've met several of my husband's classmates and collegues. I don't find that to be the most fertile ground for friendships. These people have work to do and they don't get out much.
BTW: Our residency program started a spouses group about a year ago. I haven't participated because they are just not my people. . . . and I don't care either. Perhaps I would have cared a couple years ago but now I'm just too busy doing my own thing.
