way_2_tired Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 So this whole thing started a bit strange in my opinion. We both fell in love in a two week period. I think we were both just so happy to find someone else so dedicated to international underserved medicine. It is a bit of a unique field as it is, and to find someone else passionate and I do mean passionate about it is like a dream come true, whether anything romantic ever happens again. So now things have taken a step back. Enjoying getting to know him. If you read my earlier post, I messed up, and now we don't say "I love you" anymore. I have to bite my tongue sometimes to keep from saying it, especially when he says he misses me. oh, ok, or when he talks abt how much he cares about patients! he has got to be the most self-sacrificing compassionate doc i have ever met. I miss the country in Africa, I'm working with. But I also miss him a lot. he is always bringing up my upcoming trip to Africa. It is so hard to wait until then for both the career side of the trip and seeing him. makes me feel lonely. I put in long hours outside of my intensive training (which is my choice and I'm not complaining!) and my support is rather lacking. he has said he will be there to support me. (sometimes i think he can read my mind) but fact of teh matter is, we can't talk much and he isn't here. so i'm still worn out and lonely sometimes, and miss him everyday. What do you do when you feel lonely?
Author way_2_tired Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 I realize the sum of my posts might hint at a bit of "hero worship" going on here. I'm not infatuated with this guy. he has plenty of faults. 'sides, it's not like I might have a similar job one day....I will for sure!
