Im seeing a doctor for a few weeks now who said he has a busy week this week and he hasn't texted me once for the last 2 days. Am I stupid/inconsiderate to think he's not interested in me bc of that?

Maybe this guy is truly 24 hour busy or maybe he’s different, but the guys I know will make time if they’re interested in a girl.

Don't beat yourself up and call yourself stupid. It's perfectly understandable and reasonable to feel put out by this! I can't speak for this guy, but my friend is a doctor and she's very busy. Her infrequent texts aren't related to her feelings or affection, just her priorities do tend to place work over personal matters.

If you're not okay with the frequency of communication, I'd speak up. If he's not willing to compromise and you're not looking to wait around, maybe let this one go. It'll be better for your heart in the long run.

What kind of dr? My friend is an ER doc and his busy weeks are literally working, eating, sleeping at the hospital with basically no time for interaction with others.

Communicate, and decide if you’re ok with this level of attention. Some women (myself included) are not, and that’s okay. If he’s not able to give a full conversation each day, let him know that even a check in “morning” or “night” text would help you feel appreciated.

I give him some slack bc he’s a literal doctor and they can honestly have crazy schedules. But I wouldn’t put up with this if it were a normal 9-5 job. A guy who wants to talk to you will make the time to do so.

I've been with my boyfriend for about 2 years now. I only get to see him on the weekend because we have opposite working schedules during the week. But I've noticed his family asking him for help on stuff on the weekend and he tends to try to fit it in some way. This annoys me since he sees his family throughout the week but my only quality time is on the weekends. He also hasn't been doing anything to get him closer to his life goals because his family always asks him for his time and money....

I think I need to find an antidepressant that works for me but I’m nervous it’s going to make work that much harder. Do I tell someone at my firm? If so, how?
