Relationships

How do you manage medical school, let alone any type of graduate school or career, and a relationship? Well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see. They say a relationship can maintain itself during medical school, but that it won't really grow or blossom throughout this time. That might be something people say, but honestly, why should one ever go with the norm. When you find someone you love and they feel it too, I believe that nothing should separate that bond. I am currently in a relationship and torn over how fair it is to him to be with me. I know people can make it work. You must make time for your bf/gf and they must understand when some dates are simply getting coffee and studying at Starbucks. Compromises and getting through difficult times are for the strong, people who are confident in their love for each other. While I worry about my relationship and hear horror stories about medical students breaking up with their bf/gf, one must experience things firsthand and defy the odds. That is all for now, I'll repost as I experience triumphs and tribulations within my relationship during medical school.
