... we were talking about love.
Specifically about long term relationships. And how they play out in academia. And their tendency to be stressful and pull people out of successful positions.
It turns out that at least three faculty members here have significant others who live far far away. One professor's wife lives in Oklahoma where she has a teaching position. One professor has a wife living in Maine.
The professor I was talking to has a serious girlfriend living in Pennsylvania.
Do you know how daunting it is to be basically apprenticing for a job that may make it impossible for you to form meaningful romantic relationships with any sort of stability for the next ten years?

... not that I exactly have boys beating down my door to even take me out to dinner...
