You already have a son so in a way this may not matter, but if you do decide to continue the relationship you might think about this.
We purposely delayed having children until my husband was nearly through with residency and boy am I glad we did. Yes, medical school and residency were stressful but I was SO independent and had so many outside interest. It wasn't all that hard for me. I did not start resenting his hours until we had children when he started his practice. I was stuck. I eventually found a support network...
Anyway, I would delay children until she is well established in her career. Then, MAYBE she could find some kind of private practice where she could work half time... maybe?? ( I'm not sure how female docs do this, especially ones in a demanding field like OB or my husband's field. In fact, the only female orthopods I know are not married.
