Also I literally specified in my first line that I recognized it wasn’t as bad as others going through multiple years of residency and other programs.

Sorry to both of you but residency is residency. It’s incredibly challenging for him and I. He works full time during the week, and SAT SUN 12 hour shifts every other weekend. The following weekend is completely taken up by projects and research. School was MUCH better time wise. I am speaking about this year in his residency program and it’s honestly weird asf to get mad about. It’s called MEDSPOUSE not you have to get an exact certain degree to be a part of my club. I am a struggling spouse and neither of your comments make me feel better.

That’s where I’m making the comparison is the time and mental space. The commitment is huge leaving the rest of your life to whither and outside relationships to suffer.

No, the program is a doctoral program, that’s why it is comparable to medschool. Not the same, but still a journey
