I have a relationship that means the world to me. She moved in with me just a month before school began. I have quickly entered the vortex of time that is full time nursing school with a little work on the side. I have read countless threads about nursing school and its effect on relationships but they all focus on the actions of the partner. I feel like I'm going crazy because I have no reflective tools to understand my own behavior and feelings! SO.... How does one cope with the feeling (sometimes jealousy) of missing out on a real "life" when your partner is free and running around having fun and living in a different world than you? How do you maintain a healthy relationship when you are living such different schedules and even lives (as far as focuses go)? In general I'd just appreciate some feedback on the nursing students perspective of themselves in their committed relationships.
