wtf??!?

I am sorry for your situation, it must be tough. The big rational thing I would say to your wife if she is still pushing for the condo is to say this, "When I'm in medical school, and you don't work, how are we going to pay for the mortgage?? Or even if you are making 35-40k at that point, could we pay for the condo, my schooling, (potentially) kids, and everything else on that income?". Bring the #'s to the table with her, if she still thinks its okay, then she is not a rational person at all.
Good luck. Absolutely start renting, you decide if you want to maintain the relationship. If you do, let her have the option of renting with you or moving on.
I'll look forward to hearing what you decide to do.
