This has been troubling me for a while now. It's a taboo to even talk this out in some places .I am a 25 year old MBBS graduate . Ever since I entered internship, I noticed (and came across gossips) that many Assistant professors in my college have an affair . Some APs go out on dates with their interns or JRs . Most of these happen in extreme privacy and we get to know by the one who's involved letting the news out .

As I started working in corporate hospitals, post my internship, the duty doctors ( even those in relationship) and the consultants (those married as well) had something going on with a colleague or a staff nurse sometimes .

One consultant had even employed his affair as some receptionist . My senior friend, who's a neurologist says it's so common in his hospital too and his consultant friends talk about it all the time in parties .

Is relationships that messed up around us these days ? I feel like it's already so much normalised that people have such conversations openly and none seeing adultery or cheating as a wrong thing .Maybe this isn't new for you at all , not for me as well .

Divorces and partners living apart without officially getting divorced for the sake of society and kids have become common as well .

All these had been a trauma for me for a while . Doctors being busy and trying to be successful in duty , fail miserably in monogamous relationships ? Any views regarding this and hopefully someone got fix to these traumatic thoughts ? 🫥
