Would you marry any medical professional

They have that other thread some where, Would you marry a Doctor. Well I am asking would you marry another medical professional. Whether it an RN, a tech, a aide, an RT, An Xray or CT tech, or a US tech, or a paramedic or a pharmacist, or a paramedic.Or anyone else in the Medical or nursing or ancillary positions.

My answer is no. When I leave work. I leave work at the door. I dont ever want to discuss it at home or with a loved one. I dont even associate with other nurses. Except at out annual Golf Tournament. But then I am also 46 and I have not married yet. Nor do I ever want to. My life is perfect as is.

I really am 46. I really have never married. I love life as it is. I cant see having a relationship that might mar perfection. It is as simple as that for me/ Nothing complicated at all.

A relationship does 'get in the way' of a smooth life at times, I would agree. But when it is a great relationship with a wonderful significant other- that can't be beat IMO. I find myself imagining being single and free over the next few years and it seems like it will be a fun time, but I am not looking forward to the lonely feelings that sometimes accompany being single. Of course, I know about feeling lonely while in a relationship also.

I don't think I would actively seek-out someone in the medical profession. But if that happened to be what the person did, I wouldnt have a problem with it. Like other people say, sometimes it's nice to just leave work at work.

I forgot to mention that for me, Deal Breaker Numero Uno is that he cannot ever have been divorced, for any reason. Please do not tell me that I'm unreasonable because I've already heard it lots of times.

So, the poor schlep whose wife cheated on him numerous times is left out in the cold...again.

I like women with rules like this. It makes the weeding-out process lightning fast. NEXT!

I may not be in a relationship, but I certainly am not lonely by any stretch of the imagination,Not at all.

Alright 46, just admit it. You want me, you want me, you want me.

I'll be taking appropriate cover awaiting your response.

No because I enjoy teaching my boyfriend all the medical stuff and he thinks I'm smart...but I would definitely marry a police officer,U.S army soldier (dating one right now).I like uniforms and looking "smart":heartbeat

If the person and I are a great mix, sure I would. I met my husband at my job, but he does not work in nursing...we have peace officers that work for our corporation. I used to work in psych ER as an aide, and first laid eyes on my husband to be when he came into our area to sign off on his officer's logbooks. I remember looking at him and saying to myself "Damn, that is one handsome man!". The feeling was mutual, he was attracted to me as well, but it took close to two years because we were both still involved with someone else and were not the type to cheat. My husband is perfect to me in every way (well, not everything...:D), but we are very compatible in the ways that count the most. The advantage is that we do work for the same place, but not in the same department or shift, so, we have very interesting talks when we are home together because we see things from different perspectives. Leads to lively conversations and debates.

Another positive side of it is that his sister is an RN, an administrator at one of our sister hospitals, so, when I attended nursing school, he was very familiar with the drill, knew when to stay out of my way and was extremely supportive. Heaven forbid if something were to happen where I was single again, the next guy would have very heavy shoes to fill and I doubt it would be easy.

The first time I laid eyes on my boyfriend I thought 'he was ok" but never thought of him anything more than a friend.Couple weeks later he started chasing me and now I'm madly in love with him and I think he is perfect altough very difficult personality...love has a strange way of revealing itself.

I'm going to marry someone in the medical profession and we live together now. He is also an RN. I do enjoy having someone who understands, but trust me, we have plenty to talk about that does not involve work or nursing in any way.

My sister's 7 years younger than me, also has never been married, and her Deal Breaker Numero Uno is children. That surprised me because she's always wanted to be a mom and cannot have children of her own. I don't think it's so much the children as having to deal with the ex and her (or his, if it's a man marrying a woman with kids) family, which can be problematic and I understand is a common reason why second or later marriages fail - and this includes marriages where the bio parent died.

Thing is, so often when a man marries a woman with kids and the "bonus grandchildren" are embraced by the extended family, the biodad isn't in the picture, nor is his family even if they were married for many years, so that isn't an issue. One often wonders, however, how much of that was the mom's doing, and it wasn't justified, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me when women who have sons do it. How would they like it if he got divorced and the scales were tipped more in her direction, and they lost their grandkids just for being related to him? Happens all the time.

If a potential mate had children, I would need to investigate several things...mainly the relationship or interaction between my mate and their mother...is it filled with hatred...would she want to take him to court AFTER we married when our assets are combined and I have to take a chunk out of my own salary? Is the child resistant to another woman dating his father, or most importantly, how would this affect MY child? I must say that I am glad that my husband didn't have any children so this was a mute issue, but I wouldn't want my or my son's life in disarray due to my wanting a relationship with a particular man.

If his first name was Vin and his last name was Diesel----oh yeah!!!;)

Like SueSquatch said, "no, my husband wouldn't like it" LOL

But honestly if I were single, I wouldn't be seeking out a medical professional to date or marry but I wouldn't be against dating/marrying a med pro.

If single now, I wouldn't be into the bar and/or club scene, I don't attend church so that wouldn't be a place for me to meet single men, and all my friends are married or in a serious relationship as are their friends/family so no one would have that "single friend" to try and set me up with. The one place that I would probably find someone would be work and since I am a nurse, most men I would come into contact with would be medical professionals too.

So, in short, I would not actively seek them out but I wouldn't turn them away either. I would be an equal opportunity dater :)

Sorry, You are absolutely safe from me. I looked at your profile and you have a very significant item that makes you completely unsuitable for me. See. You are safe as can be.:saint::up:
