I'm thinking it might be a good plan to move on to dating a different profession. Maybe astronauts? I mean... they travel for work and you know they aren't cheating (thanks to NASA's new no sex in space rule and video surveillance).... so you get space and security. They are famous for something noble. Intelligent, sexy (ever notice that even old astronauts have sex appeal?), fit... it's win-win situation. Assuming you have good life insurance. Anybody know one?

I wonder if all critical care doctors are like this. Most of the ones in my program eschew sleep as well and seem to have this complex about being "hard core." I'm not so into that either.
ReplyDeleteHa! Good plan.
ReplyDeleteA colleague of mine is married to one. She brings him dinner to the hospital every night (since obviously he's not home to eat it). And when she works, they eat by her patient's room. She loves him, but hates his job and their life (they got married when he was a 1st year med student). If you end up falling in love with this guy (or any other 22-hr-at-work astronaut/doctor/workaholic) you'll have to be the supportive wife/mother/do-everything person, otherwise, things fall apart rather quickly... cause guess what? there's a line of people who have NO idea what you're going through but "want" your husband's/boyfriend's money, fame, job, whatever. So it's kind of your pick. But someone is going to have to give more to make things work... I hope you find a good one, everyone deserves a good one (even if he works 22 hrs).
ReplyDeleteNo worries about that. I'm pretty turned off by the whole work-a-holic thing... so unless he was just bluffing, I really have little interest in going down that route
ReplyDeleteHmmm I never considered astronauts, but that would probably work out well...especially since they leave and you still get free time. Because even worse than the workaholic is the super clingy guy.
