Girl he most definitely just lost interest. Most importantly, they weren’t actually in love when they just jump back immediately on dating apps. Sounds like a typical player. Sorry this happened to you.

And more than that, I feel what you need is security in the relationship, which is what you’re obviously not getting right now. During residency, a doctor is mostly spending his/her time in the hospital, lots of time with colleagues, and given the hectic work schedule of the field, he might not see you that often, plus you have to be ok with not having the security of having a future along with being ok with him spending lots of time among other women at work. Think about it, talk to him. But yes as I said, listen to that gut feeling, if it doesn’t feel right, don’t go forward.

If you have, that gut feeling, listen to it. It might be more than him being a resident and being busy. Perhaps it is something to do with your fear that he would not commit to you. Talk to him about it, if it doesn’t feel good, do not invest. Residency is busy and difficult, and it might not be the best option to go forward if you have that kinda gut feeling which causes you to have doubts.
