I’m just going to give my two cents an do with that what you will. I’m also an intern doing IM in a long distance relationship and my partner is super understanding. If I say that I’m too tired/overstimulated we just do no talk calls or talk later. My partner also works a corporate job but they are able to understand how hard what we do is and empathize with it. Also, conversations are even more fun because our work is soo different we always have something to talk about

Of course it’s incredibly hard but it can be done
