How exactly did you meet your partner?

Almost every woman physician I know is married to another physician. The few who aren’t usually met their spouse before med school.

I’m not and met spouse after med school.

. Good for you. Are you a lawyer now or did you become a trophy wife? Not judging, I am one.

Medical school students and residents are so busy that they often just settle out of convenience for whoever is in proximity and also has a busy schedule.

My brother met his physician wife when she was in medical school and he was doing gap year work experience job between college and grad school. I think they dated for 3 years until both got their degrees. Both are very successful and happy together since two decades, mainly because his job is very flexible and portable so he was/is able to support her in ways another busy and competitive physician just couldn't.

Went to a party. DH was a friend of my girlfriend. We were 22. Got married at 25. Both of us 60 now. I knew as soon as I saw him that he was going to be my DH. Best decision of our lives.

Most couples (at least ones in first marriage) meet between 20-29 and marry after 1-3 years of dating.

Early 2000s - I was 22, DH 26. My good friend from college was dating his friend and we all met up at a Happy Hour in Dupont Circle.

Met in a conference room on both of our first day at work. But we didn't date until over two years later. He didn't want to date any one from work for good reason but I eventually wore him down. We had become good friends and sometimes we did things socially with other coworkers and one night he was driving me home and I invited him in and it went on from there. That was over 30 years ago.
