Husband wants to do a DO residency very far from me..

I’m sorry... so you’re saying that I should withdraw any acceptances? After working for 5 years towards this? I have a bachelor’s in Neuroscience, which is pretty useless for anything other than med school or Grad school. And I know I don’t want to do research. And then just wait around while my husband lives out his dream, and stay financially dependent on him? I’m sorry but that’s really not an option. I’ll take the distance and be surrounded by my support system rather than be far and waiting for him in between 80 hour work weeks. He never suggested such a thing. And it’s not so black and white as the 2 options you suggested. Our marriage has already been a struggle, the best thing for both of us is to stay busy if the other is busy. Thanks.
