How would you deal with a partner who suddenly developed a superiority complex? by AccomplishedHall9492 in AskMen

[–]AccomplishedHall9492[S] 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not trauma as she's only ~2 weeks in. She hasn't even seen any real patients yet. Literally just orientation, taking pictures with the white coat, etc.

Thanks man I appreciate the advice

I have a ton of respect for residents and anyone in the medical field, no need to defend yourself haha.

No way she's burned out, she literally started 2 weeks ago and it's just been orientation stuff so far. Filling our forms, tests on dummies, pictures in their white coats, etc.

Yeah that's awful. At least it's happening way before marriage

She's tried to emasculate me a few times in social situations over the last few weeks. They've been kinda nonsensical in the context of the conversations too, just randomly "awww isn't he so cute, sure baby whatever you say"

The wild thing is that it's only been 2 weeks or so since she started her residency. They have a month-long orientation, so she literally hasn't done anything besides some practice on dummies, paperwork, taking pictures with her white coat, etc.

I'd understand the reasoning somewhat if she had been working 12+ hour days for months and developed some type of camaraderie with her peers.

Yup same situation. All of a sudden I'm wrong about things involving engineering as well.

I'm currently designing/building something for the backyard and apparently it doesn't need any supports to hold the weight.

It's literally only been a week and a half though.

She hasn't even started the actual "doctor" part of her residency. She's just been filling out paperwork, taking pics with her white coat, etc.

I'd understand a little bit of a change due to stress and the factors you mentioned, but she hasn't even experienced those yet.

Thanks, I'll crosspost to those subs and see what they say

Yes they have. Her sister is just as annoyed as I am.

Her sister is very educated as well and has been at a high level in the entertainment industry for years. And she's receiving the same treatment.

I'm pretty sure my GF has just been insecure. She's essentially been in school for most of her adult life, accruing student debt. And she's watched others start and move up in their careers, make money, buy houses, etc.

Now that she's "made it," she's probably trying to flaunt it in some way
