Update to I am sooo tired of this:

It's been a while. I'm in. I got into Chicago, which is what I wanted, and hubby and I are still together and happier than ever. We will be doing a commuter marriage for the next few years.
What did it take? I quit my job to give me space and time to work on apps and my marriage and cut out toxic friends that were trying to sway us on divisive issues- like, school, property, kids, etc. I spent some time with my inlaws over Xmas who encouraged me in everything - school, marriage, work and just got some rest. Thanks y'all.
Re: Update to I am sooo tired of this:
Wow, I would have never guessed that your friends were the problem from reading your post. I just shows that you never know the whole story by reading someone's post.
I'm glad everything worked out. I knew plenty of people who had commuter marriages for b-school and even Med School (4 years!), so it definately can be done!
Good luck!
The most toxic thing in my life was my job. With that gone, I was able to focus on apps and then marriage. (The former being a sprint and the latter a marathon.)
It took time to realize the impact that "friends" were having because I was too exhausted to deal with some of the issues. While the comments/actions were inappropriate and hurtful, none on their own merited cutting ties, it was the sum of the actions: disregard for privacy, respect of our marriage and just the simple kindnesses that you take for granted from good friends that led us both to pull back.
The space that not working and pulling back has provided along with the major confidence boost from his family's support and my admittance into a top school has made life so much easier.
