Boyfriend in first year of podiatry med school

[AR1109]

Hi all! I’m new here. I wanted to hop on this forum for support in being a “medwife.” I seem to be struggling in our relationship with my SO being so busy all the time. So I get it and I let him study and do his thing but the smallest things will get me upset. For example, weekends are his true studying days (I work every other weekend btw) and I would think meal times are the best times to get together chat, eat and spend time together. But the other day, he would eat at his own time (fine but communicate that w me so I’m not bringing food to eat it alone!) and I bring food only to eat it facing the back of his laptop. I get upset thinking why can’t we spend just 20 mins together, actively engaging?

I think I am trying my best in giving him space, no problem. But the lack of effort in giving me our time or maybe the lack of better time management, even with me giving him tips, seems to get me upset. Is this normal with other Medwives?
So glad to have found a forum! Thanks all

Just give it time. His study habits will improve allowing for more free time.
