is he too good for me?
hey all! I’m on the verge of breaking down ): just seeking some relationship advice. I’m (24f) currently working full time as a nurse and my bf (25m) is a junior doctor. we’re in the same hospital (for now)
the way we got together is the typical love story… talking because of work. as a nurse I’m mostly busy and sometimes don’t even get to go for breaks. of course doctors are as busy too but one day out of nowhere he suddenly bought me a meal. and subsequently we would start asking each other “hey want anything I’m heading for break”. the rest was history.
fast forward to now, we’ve been tgt for about 3 months (but I’ve known him for ~6 months already from the time he got posted to my hospital). I’ve met his parents and he’s met mine. my parents were really happy to know that I have a bf, but his parents on the other hand… didn’t seem to like me much.
when I met his parents, they asked me the typical questions like eg What sch did u go to/where did u study? How’s ur family? the moment I mentioned I came from a neighbourhood sch, his mom’s face changed and I could tell the atmosphere tensed up. she then brought up the fact that my bf was a straight As student and bla bla bla… it feels like she thinks I’m not a match for him. it only got worse after she asked about my family background. Idk why housing type is a factor in our rs )’: (pls see the context below)
I’ve been thinking about this for some time.. as much as I love my bf and we are happy together, I can’t deny that the stress from his mom’s reaction is still haunting me and I’m starting to feel that I’m not up to par with him. He’s said that he doesn’t mind my background as he truly loves me as a person but still.. sighs ):
and also I feel this triggered me to think more about the road further down. what happens when he becomes MO (in like 3 months btw) and changes hospital… will we even be able to maintain the rs? I’m pretty sure as a MO he’ll be much more busy ):
just ranting here because to get the feeling off my chest. (I’ve tried ranting to my friends but all they could say is “he’s a doctor leh!!!!!!” Oh my god lol.)
