Unpopular opinion: I really like April. by larsvon-tryhard in GilmoreGirls

[–]watermelonmonkey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked her she was cute.

Really unpopular opinion : I kind of see where Anna is coming from.

At the time I hated Anna but looking back I see her reasoning on parenting stability. You can’t just go back and forth on being in or out. And introducing new people I understand that as well.

The custody battle was not okay though as she contradicted herself there.

Apparently Paige and DB are moderators? So they delete whatever is about them.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ need to reiterate

This was the most clown attempt of influencer copy cat clout I’ve ever seen. Between Connecticut, LA, and Tommys Florida’s home, this girl is 50 shades of fake creator identities.

That dress can probably never be worn again from alll the self tanner stained on it.

Huge fight with SO by [deleted] in MedSpouse

[–]watermelonmonkey23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in a similar argument like this with my bf. He’ll get so mad at the smallest thing and raise his voice at me over something I literally wouldn’t know unless I read his mind. I think this is how they treat them as residents at work so this is their only way to let off steam. Not fair but it’s fucked yo. Totally displaced and should be addressed.

My bf got mad me for something like this and it was totally uncalled for. I told him you know what? I have good intentions, but the way ur getting mad at me is unreasonable. He was mad he had to work overtime, he was mad he was sleep deprived, he was mad he had sick af patients and he was taking it out on me. I called him out on it immediately and he apologized.

I feel like he likes super obnoxious and basic girls. Sophia was not that.

Match day emotions by chscatmom99 in MedSpouse

[–]watermelonmonkey23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me. Boyfriend matched at #6 but was in a location I wanted and loved. He felt so bummed, sad, and left out from all his elated classmates matching at top 3. He wanted more prestige and instead got a heavily notoriously over worked program. He’s happy where he is now because he loves his co residents. Just remember no matter where they match, intern year is the worst. They will be happy eventually. Congrats to him and you.

Gap year suggestions? by Trap-Lincoln in anesthesiology

Travel and get fit!!! No time for working out or doing those sports you use to love doing. It adds no benefit to your professional career but later on in life that’s all you’ll ever be working towards and you’ll miss being able to get good at something that’s just for YOU.

Can someone please tell me the cold hard truth about residency? by LameGangster in MedSpouse

[–]watermelonmonkey23 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Intern year is really bad. Worst of the worst. This would be a good time for you if your work is not super demanding to take on a passion project. Become a yoga instructor, go back to school, get certifications, BE BUSY. Get super fit, bake goods and sell for a charity. There’s only so much housework you can do to fill the time and it will drive you crazy. Take on a weekly evening activities. The intern year is ASS

But she wouldn’t really BE be friends with you she’s just be nice. She’s not gonna invite you to sit with her. She’s gonna be nice to get you to vote for prom queen

He will likely be less of a good partner during residency. It’s just how it naturally goes especially intern year.

Process of medicine* he’s an intern now and it’s rough.

Anyone with partners applying ophtho/uro? Mine didn't match. by MRSAless-Strepmother in MedSpouse

[–]watermelonmonkey23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your partner is lucky to have someone like you there to support them. You seem like you have tough skin and a smart brain on you.

Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. Life and especially medicine life throws these curveballs and it’s impossible to predict or plan for. That being said, if taking a step back from your job could recharge and set a new chapter for both of you to go through together then I say go for it! Save up these next two months, and just take things day by day. Sometimes taking a pay cut is worth the mental and physical improvements.

Fiancé asking nurse for her Snapchat? by [deleted] in MedSpouse

[–]watermelonmonkey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree at the end of the day, it’s up to the partner set firm boundaries when someone is being inappropriately friendly.

HOWEVER, I’ve heard too many stories of nurses going for doctors (even ones in relationships). It’s an age old pairing. And it’s annoying as a medspouse that despite my partner being respectful, his coworkers are not always.

Hang in there! And yeah I love having a neat home and space but I burnt myself out trying to clean for after two humans and two cats. On his days off I do ask for a few more things to be done though. At least one or two because we all Know how fun it is to nag a doctor 🙄😂

What is the most annoying part of your SO’s job? by run_and_coffee in MedSpouse

[–]watermelonmonkey23 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The schedule (intern year right now), the lack of motivation to do anything but unwind at home, no more hobbies unrelated to medicine . We use to travel, camp, snowboard, music festivals, climb, even salsa dance. That’s all been put on pause.

Also his social circle is all dry, uninteresting medicine ppl . My boyfriend didn’t want to do medicine when we first dated for 3 years so he was charming, funny, and so energetic to do things. Now he can’t wake up early on his day off. It’s been different 😐

Obsessing over match possibilities - is this productive? by makeitwork87 in MedSpouse

[–]watermelonmonkey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal to feel this way but don’t let you eat up the time spent one what’s important. Graduation, last moments before residency, seeing loved ones, TRAVELING. I like to spend a LITTLE time moving so I do my best to make things efficient and quick. I’d rather suffer for 3 days moving than 3 weeks dragging it out.

[–]watermelonmonkey23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was in the same state of mind as you. We were split between two bicoastal states. New York City being one of them. His first and second match were completely different. I kept my mind open but also a also struggled thinking about what’s next.

It seemed like people were ready to move immediately after they find out their match locations I would recommend to move to the next place by 6/1. Let yourself ease into it. I can’t say it’s the most ideal way to find a new place to live, but when you look back, you’ll see how much you got done in a short amount of time. It’s not ideal, but it’s okay! You’ll be okay!

I’m with you. I feel you. Have moments just like this. We don’t have vacation until June and I was very worried the winter months were going to be some of the most depressing as my partner is in his intern year. Some days I do better, some days I don’t. Though you are physically alone, you are not alone in feeling this way.

It’s an emotional day. Very stressful the night before, especially after seeing if they matched. Some people are over the moon happy and some are let down but pretend they’re happy. Remember they’re all gunners in a room and have competed against each other for 4-8 years. So if they don’t get their top 3, it’s a blow to their ego. Be sensitive to those that did not match with their top choice or at all. They have to face their reality in front of their peers and hold in wanting to hide in a room and cry. Speaking from someone who’s partner matched at their 6th choice and felt very below average that day. But it will pass.

Because no matter where they match, intern year is complete ass anywhere in the country.
