Oh wow... keep plenty of alcohol on hand and make sure you don’t have a gun in the house

Partner 1 · Answer

It will be a really hard period of a few years; full of anxiety. But you’ll both come out stronger on the other side (hopefully). I'd have some honest, hard conversations asap to be ready when things get tough

I hope this would be more of an advantage than a setback! Since you guys are going through the same thing in your careers, you guys would know what each other is going through more than anyone else

This is going to be a challenge for your relationship, but one that I think can be overcome!

Associate 1 · Answer

Do you have kids? If it’s just the two of you, lots of communication is key. And try to coordinate vacations if you can so you do have some quality time together. Discuss your absolute must do’s and don’t compromise, whether those are holidays or Sunday brunches.
