I'm a sysadmin (though these days I get called a "cloud engineer", or "devops". ugh) married to a doctor.

That said I'm a university dropout, and she did a degree in computer science, before switching to become a physician.

I know a lot of CS people locally who are married to dentists and doctors. There are a lot of encounters between doctors, but my personal experience is that doctors marrying doctors (or other medical specialists) seem to get divorced quite frequently.




Why do you think they get divorced frequently? Could the significant factor be the irregular or long working hours for people in medicine?


Could just be that since you see a lot of physicians marrying physicians, you also see a lot of physicians divorcing physicians. Without actual data, it's probably very hard to quantify the real divorce rate.
