ST knows: My girlfriend and I (together for 1 1/2 years) are going to different med schools in the fall. We will either be 5 hours apart (driving) or
on different coasts. We will be apart for probably 4 years (med school) and maybe residency (3-4 years, but good chances to do it in the same city). So we are thinking if we should do the long distance thing or not. She is great and there is a good possibility of her being "the one". (No don't worry.. I am not getting married till much later). So we are taking about future plans and what not and we disagree on one thing. I know that I would like to have kids one day (again.. much much later in time) and she doesn't. She says that even if she decided to have kids, she would rather adopt.
So now we aren't sure if we should do the long distance thing because at the end of everything we might not be compatible with the kid issue.
I don't know how set I am on having a kid, but I always thought that I would. She says that she wants to focus on her career and so far doesn't see herself have a kid.
Otherwise we are great together. She is awesome in terms of the big stuff and small stuff.
Thoughts?
(ST gets too much of personal life haha)
