Give your partner patience, affection, and focus, and if they are compassionate and encouraging, your relationship will flourish. With mutual effort and care you’ll create a solid base that will assist you in facing life’s ups and down together and your bond will continue to stronger."
The failed relationships is due to the long and unpredictable work hours, emotional exhaustion and high stress levels a healthcare professional go through. They barely have time for their family. It needs communication, intimacy and attention for a relationship to sustain.
I am a Doctor and married to a Techie since 8 years, now having 2 beautiful daughters. I feel the best relationship depends on having conversation with your partner. Being honest, open and transparent about yourself and your work commitments will make everything work. Ofcourse the partner should be understanding and respectful about your work and that your work will need you at odd hours and sometimes weekends too. That’s what we call balance if both of you are happy that’s what makes a relationship last long.
More than differences in background, it is the difference of opinion. Schedules for medico people are erratic - in service of people. While certain non-medico fields might have same chaos, but usually in service to the company.
It could be because they’re too engrossed in their work or have hectic schedules. The constant stress and emotional pressure their job brings can make it hard to stay emotionally present, leading to distance and strain in relationships.
If a relationship fails its lack of understanding and respect.
In this medical professional can be successful in understanding( like job timings, can’t able to spend time with family and all) but when it comes to respect they expect more may be because there is always this pride is our culture for this job. Even a relationship between medical professionals they expect to be mutually respected.
So if you master that the relationships will be better
The two most critical components to sustain any relationship are trust and understanding. I believe that any relation, whether it’s between a medico and a non-medico or in a different context, all you need is a healthy conversation. And I agree that conflicts do arise, but that isn’t just limited to any particular relationship, and these conflicts can easily be resolved with a wise discussion.
Communication is the key. A quite old and most useful saying I believe. But the reason for relationships not lasting more could be any reason. I mostly believe that healthcare workers are slightly more overworked and exhausted compared to non-medico. The constant long hour shifts would definitely want a person to have a understanding better half and not someone who would complain about them not being there for them always.
healthcare professional often face challenges in relationships due to demanding work schedules, high stress and emotional exhaustion.
Most health care professional are working under pressure and under paid in India. Students doing paramedical courses like nursing, pharma, medical lab technology working in the hospitals are told to night shifts at a pay of 18k like what’s the meaning of studying that much if you can’t even earn 30k these type of toxic environment lead them to find happiness wherever they can find finally leading to cheating on their partners and finally leading to failed relationship
Healthcare professionals pour too much into treating & healing others that they forget to nurture and grow their own bonds. Long hours, emotional burnout, and deranged work-life balance silently erode the relationships. Something to think about. 
Absolutely agree mutal understanding in relationships it will lay the foundation of strong relationship.
In my opinion, nowadays, to maintain a good relationship in both professional and work life most important thing which is not possible to work nowadays to remain medical or healthcare profession; it is most important that both partners understand and have maturity in life and profession. No matter how big a problem comes, it takes time to resolve.
Health care profession is a hardworking and labour based job. There are so much duty periods in health care sector. That’s why health professionals are failed to run not only a healthy relationship but also failed to attach with family members.
They most focus on care than their families ( partner)some time,so choosing understanding partner is best
The significant reason is that, the career demands a lot of time and sincere effort. Sometimes, the person needs to be available at odd hours and sometimes, the impact of the work during the whole day is heavy that the person cannot exhibit interest towards other aspect of his/her life apart from resting. In that scenario, when one is so engrossed in his/her issues, understanding the other person in the relationship gets difficult and there’s not much time and energy to discuss about the concerns as well.
Its mainly due to extreme long hours of working, increases level of stress and having to deal with emergency situation for the whole day. Healthcare profession is not just a profession but a 24/7 commitment.
With my personal experience, a smooth relationship does exists with a non-medico partner when u have a good understanding, mutual respect and time for each other. To maintain that understanding, spending quality time is must. It helps resolve your issues and understand each others perspective, at the same time improving you bond and respect towards each other.
Agree with you

As healthcare professional person has their own commitments towards their career, patients and work..and in that if the other person who is non-medico will not understand the priorities of a medico,there conflict starts,where medico cant make them understand the value of their duty..
