Handsome Robb, we're not living paycheck to paycheck. He just wants to have enough money for our future, which is understandable. I think he'll find a balance eventually and we should come to an understanding where we aren't struggling. The night shifts, I think, have just been killing me...

I agree with both of you; hopefully, he sets limits soon, but I'm unable to decide that for him. Talking hasn't been very effective, but I'm going to support him no matter what with this. It's just very difficult. Again, I really thank you all for coming forward with advice and trying to offer...

I graduate in seven years, worst case scenario, or three if I move to England, but I'll have a very generous living stipend that supports me as long as I go where they send me. We've talked about the possibility of him staying behind (he's going to at this point) while I get my degree and work...

I'll suggest it. Right now, we're going on separate vacations. He's taking a week to go teach first aid to boy scouts with his father and brothers, which is important to him, but leaves me in the dust. I'm biting the bullet, but going down to the beach the following week with my family who he...

It's the stress and hours; I don't know how to help him.

My fiancé has always loved EMS and first response. He's an EMT-B working on his medic and works 60-70 hours a week at a private ambulance service in a busy town that is constantly short-staffed. We recently moved an hour and a half north of his work for my research, so he has that commute each...
