would love some advice on partners while pursing medicine
not sure if this is the right place to post but reddit and sdn are not nearly as considerate.
the only place i got into med school is location-wise undesirable for both my partner and I...i dont have a choice in the matter though and it makes me cry daily because I constantly feel bad for it. I should feel excited about going to med school. Im waiting on one other school post II in a more desirable loc, but its not P/F pre-clin.
My partner will complain about having nothing to do in the area, and he sees his friends in NYC and Boston being in close proximity with each other. He will say comments about being "25 and being home every day" because our friends live in cities and we live in this undesirable area. I know he doesnt mean it maliciously and he has said "i know you didn't have a choice in the matter", but I'm going crazy thinking do i have to choose between him and medicine. I don't want to regret my decision
I feel like i have to decide between being miserable academically (not P/F pre clin (H/HP/PP, but better loc) or being miserable socially (bad loc, but P/F). He's been so supportive throughout the whole process so i dont wan't it to seem like hes a bad guy, but i just dont know what to do. Also to make matters worse, the schools offer practically the exact same in prestige/resources/match etc.
any advice is appreciated, or if anyone has experienced anything similar. im first in my fam to do medicine/be in a field where you don't have much say :(
