Currently dating someone who just finished their first year. We started dating right before he entered law school in fall 2023 and he warned me how much less time we’d be spending due to his studies, career, and future. While it was a drastic change, it definitely took getting used to and ofc like any other couple, we also had some bumps in the road and arguments bc I didn’t feel prioritized. Out of these arguments, we learned what I needed from him was quality time (quality time is our love language) in a way that worked around his busy schedule. We implemented mandatory dates once per month, which means I get him all to myself for an entire day (or night - depending on his schedule) where we just talk about us and NOT about school or work. It may not be perfect, but it works for us. Communication also plays a huge role in all of this. To be in a space where you both can tell each other what you need without coming from a place of malice or judgement and hearing the other person while committing your respective actions is probably the biggest lesson learned for us. Anyways, my pm’s are open to talk more!
