[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously on paper an MD is a serious catch. Educated, fairly high to very high income (surgeons), community status and professional network. Any noteworthy looming issues or are MD wives generally a very satisfied cohort?[/quote]
One of my former coworkers was in a prestigious surgery fellowship. His wife had supported him throughout medical school and residency and raising their 3 children. He got a PA pregnant, dumped his wife and she got to enjoy the high salary and SAHM lifestyle.[/quote]

NP here. I wonder if my husband was in that same fellowship. I remember a guy getting a PA pregnant and dumping his wife.

DH is a specialized surgeon and now earns $1m+. He is a good guy, loyal husband and devoted father. Of course we know some cheaters. Most of the cheaters we know are not physicians. There are the high drama ones but I would not say this is the norm. The physicians we know don’t have god complexes. Maybe it is because Dh is their peer but they seem like everyday normal people to us.

To answer OP’s question, I live a very comfortable life. I’m currently not working but plan to return. I am the default parent and have always been. Dh won’t cancel a full day of seeing patients to pick up our kid from school because he has a slight fever. He has never taken a sick day. He has missed one day of work and that was for a funeral.[/quote]
