This doesn't sound right either. In the U.S., if you don't go to medical school, you can't become a doctor. It's not just about attending classes, there are hands-on experiences like cutting up cadavers. Her whole story sounds very shaky and shady. Keep your eyes wide-open and ask questions.
She isn't becoming a doctor, but more of a technician of some sort (someone who deals with the medical machines, not a true doctor)... I don't know exactly. I am probably doing a horrible job at describing this, lol.
Whatever she wants to do, I'll support. She studies for hours every day. It's not like she isn't doing anything. I see her study while I work.
Thanks,

let me get this right: she studies medicine in a Ukranian university *online* and she thinks she will be allowed to practice medicine in the US based on this?
L O L !
I won't be posting any longer on this thread, but good luck with her - you will need it!
Oh, medical technician, that's a different deal. I personally would be bothered about her incredibly unlikely story about the gay ex, but otherwise I think that you might as well marry her. I don't give your marriage great odds of survival, though. Second marriages have an even worse survival rate, and if she won't tell you the real reason her first marriage failed, you are probably going to find out the hard way. It simply doesn't make any sense at all that a gay man would go to the extreme trouble of looking for a bride in the Ukraine and then bringing her back here. I bet you the real reason the marriage failed was that she cheated on him.
Nicholas_V,
Sorry I'm not making things more clear, she went to a real university in the Ukraine for 4 years (NOT ONLINE), got her degree, etc. She's not even taking classes, it's just online courses for studying for these particular tests.

ok, you should have started with "I knocked her up and now she wants to marry". Here's my 2 cents worth.
Being from the Ukraine I imagine tradition is important to her. There is a good chance that her family will not be pleased with her being pregnant out of wedlock. Why she left her ex is irrelevant. If you want to be there for her and be a part of your childs life, MARRY HER!! She probably doesn't consider the idea of raising a family without marriage an option. If you love her marry her. She didn't have a child with her ex, she won't make such a frivolous decision with you. Children change things.
My fiance and I had known each other 8 months when we got together and had been together only 7 months when I fell pregnant. We panicked and freaked out and he suggested termination which I expressed wasn't an option. I did tell him his choice in the matter was to stay or go. He stayed. Our son is 6 and a half years old and has had a rough time (premmie birth, hospitalisation and health issues, then diagnosed with Autism) and my man and I have stuck together through it all. It's hasn't been all sunshine and lollipops, and there would have been times where if it wasn't for our son we may have thrown in the towel and called it quits, but we have battled through and are currently planning our wedding (less than 5 weeks away!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!).
Marry her. Go propose. Do it! Do it! Do it! :)
