Today sucks...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks for insulting my future husband. He has had an extremely rough life full of abuse and abandonment. I am proud that he isn't dead on the street somewhere to be honest with you. I love him with all of my heart, that is why I have decided to marry him. It does suck that he doesn't have his GED or anything but he has been studying for it and no doubt he could pass the test if he took it. But alas that would cost money, which we don't have. I'm hoping that things work out, all we can do is hope and give it 110%, but you have to do what you have to do.
 
ouch and ouch! please ignore me, just a rant but i just don't understand girls who hitch their life, family and future on someone who.......doesn't appear to have the brightest future. i'm not saying every girl should seek our milliionaires but where are the standards? For goodness sake, he's your fiance' but if it were your son, you'd be disappointed in what he's accomplished up to this point in his life.

side note, i don't know his story so maybe it's been true tough luck along the way that's lead him to this situation but no GED and working under the table just sounds bad

"Today Sucks" is actually the best day of your life but you don't see it. This could be a sign/symbol for you to do something about your own walk and who you walk with? I'm not trying to say anything mean but look at feedback as a gift and a challenge to change sucks into a positive. People can change but co-dependancy is not the answer.

bad time for a good joke. I am sure if he browsed around every construction site he could get a temp job. Good luck though.

He has. Drove all around this morning and called several different companies, but nothing at the moment.

Worst day I've had in quite a while.

Fiance lost his job today and all the bills are due within the next 2 weeks. I only make about $600 a month and rent alone is $660. I really don't know what to do here, stuck between a rock and a hard place. :nilly:

well if you were living pycheck to paycheck you're best bet is to see about moving in with family for a bit until he gets back on his feet.

at 600$ a month you're going to struggle just paying gas and food so you need to find a situation where the rest is taken care of, typically that lies with a relative.

it's good he's right back out there looking but realistically the process will take that 2 weeks easily even if he's the top candidate.

start calling relatives, and good luck times are tough.

After everything that the two of us have been through, I would never walk away. I have no issues what so ever with my fiance. I love him with all of my heart and have never meshed so well with anyone in my life, including my own family. So if anyone else wants to suggest me leaving - keep it to yourself. I will NEVER leave my fiance.

He doesn't have any, and mine are broke as dirt. They would help me if they could, but they are all in the same boat or worse. Before he got fired, we were doing very well. We have about 900 in savings, but that's not gonna last a whole long time. We only spend $75 a month in food, and I live across the street from my job so we spend all of $40 a month on gas, if that. I am worried about electric, rent, and feeding my snakes.
 
Sorry I wasn't suggesting that just a time for introspection that may set you both up for success in the future. I'm sure he'll find something sooner or later and seems like the two of you are made for each other.

It wasn't aimed at you it was the other person suggesting that today should be a day I re-evaluate my life and consider leaving my fiance. I don't blame you for your rant, I see a ton of girls pregnant or with 2 or 3 kids - bf/hubby is either in jail or unemployed and not making any effort to better themselves. My fiance has taken care of me from day one. Took me off the street when I needed a place to go. Payed for me to go to school so I could work on getting my degree (still working on it). For me to abandon him when he's having a hard time would just be ridiculously selfish and I would never do something like that. I am an extremely loyal person and will stay with him until either one of us dies or he decides to leave me. Even though we are not married quite yet, it is 'til death do us part on my end of things.
 
I was just kidding around, I knew Lounge-dwellers would immediately get the reference. Nothing personal.

Though one could say you calling it an insult is an even bigger insult to poor LBF...

Okay, I'll shut up now.
