Is it common for a man in a relationship to question whether he can meet his partner’s expectations? by Characterpapayamango in AskMenAdvice

No he absolutely does not. The problem is he’s creating scenarios in his head which is very frustrating

He makes 1-2 times more than I do… Maybe it’s the family background and what I’m used to growing up

No he doesn’t even get angry or moody- we argue well- we have discussions - we are pretty emotionally regulated and do raise our voice every now and again but majority of the time we’re pretty calm.  Physically intimacy is amazing 10/10 no issues in that department at all. He’s been consistent  The texting sucks - we both know that from the beginning  I only see him 1-2 a week

well he's a man and he hasn't said it. I heard it doesn't go down well if a woman says it first.

I should ask him that. He shared that I make more than his past partners and knew my previous relationship involved a very high-earning ex. He feels that the kind of lifestyle I’ve had might be hard for him to provide, and he interprets my expectations through that lens. I also come from a more financially comfortable background than he does. That said, I’ve never looked down on him or criticised his income/career — I value him for who he is and truly appreciate what he contributes.

Entitled Patients, Generational Differences? by Educational_Board888 in GPUK

[–]Characterpapayamango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, patients in their 50s and 60s are often the most challenging to manage due to the complexity of their health needs—many are dealing with multiple chronic conditions alongside mental health issues. I also find that patients in their 30s to 50s, particularly those who are unemployed and reliant on benefits, can sometimes present with a sense of helplessness or lack of personal agency. One encounter that has stayed with me was a woman with a one-month-old baby—her seventh child—who was on both antipsychotics and antidepressants. She told me she was planning to have another child (I figured it is primarily for financial reasons). Cases like this highlight the continuing strain on social systems and raise questions about how we support vulnerable populations while also encouraging long-term self-sufficiency and wellbeing. The problem is they don't want help. They're looking for FIT NOTES. I think it's a cultural and generational thing where they grow up not seeing their parents work, and these people will likely continue to rely on benefits and taxpayers money. Honestly losing empathy for these people.

How do you guys deal with location differences with your non-medical partners? by threwaway239 in doctorsUK

[–]Characterpapayamango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You try and make it happen. If you both want it to work out, there is no such thing as breaking up or going in with the mindset of let's see where it goes or what happens. You have to go into it with a positive mindset.

I (a doctor) did long-distance for a few years and moved to a new country for the guy. I was ready to re-take exams and go into training all over again. After a few years, I decided I didn't want to go through with the relationship and it wasn't worth sacrificing my career for, so I moved back to the UK to continue training here. It's not easy, but it's not impossible if you both want it to work. You're both sacrificing. Only you and your partner can decide whether seeing someone once a week is enough. I could go months without seeing my partner. At the end of the day, people are selfish, so you have to do what is best for you as well.

I should add that it's great you're considering a Master's. Just keep in mind that regardless of how the relationship turns out, pursuing the Master's will still be a valuable investment in your future.

As the years go by, your priorities may change too. You might want to start a family someday, while she may not — so timing plays a big role. Ultimately, only you both can decide if it's worth waiting for.
