dating nurses
In my time I've dated two nurses and a physical therapist. Love means still finding someone desirable when they come home reeking of corpses and formaldehyde. Turns out I didn't love them all that much. Nevertheless, all three were similar personalities: emotionally detached. Downright unempathetic and callous. Although these qualities doubtless serve them well in professions where emotional attachment leads straight to burnout and therapy, in a relationship, I found them lethal. Has anyone else encountered this?
