New Quiz!
so freaky, i got a new friend and a new crush recently, and a change.
My boyfriend of 6 years wants to get a promise ring or possibly even propose and get me an engagement ring this summer for my birthday. We’ve talked about this and agreed that we’ll get married after we finish college, but getting a ring 3 years in advance isn’t a bad idea.
The problem is, he’s paying his way through college, has a small amount of debt already building, and the worst? He doesn’t want to get a job this summer. He thinks that sitting around on his butt all day learning all the programming languages will give him “experience” and will give him a better chance at gaining an internship NEXT summer. And he still wants to pay for a ring?! He says he could afford one, but being in debt without a job or insurance does NOT seem like he could afford one!
Trust me, I’ve talked to him about it. I told him what legal marriage really meant, and that if he build up thousands and thousands of dollars in debt then I married him, I would suddenly also be responsible for his debt, so while it’s a selfish reason, I don’t want to get married because his debt is not my responsibility. NO couple should start out a marriage with debt, especially since something like 75% of divorces are for financial reasons, and the beginning of a marriage is already the hardest.
When we get married, I would like to be able to pay for my own wedding with his help, but that’s never going to happen if he’s paying off loans and the interest on the loans for years and years after college.
I think I finally got through to him when I sat down and talked with him face to face, told him my worried, and told him how all the graduating seniors in our hometown and all the high schoolers would be getting out of school soon and take all the summer jobs. I told him how internships also look for work ethic, not just how well you know Java and C. I
I am really lost and don’t know why he doesn’t have the motivation to get a job when I do. Right when I felt like he was becoming responsible (he worked 2 jobs during college), he suddenly doesn’t want to take charge of his life. Maybe it’s because his two older brothers (23 and 25) are still living at home? And his parents don’t feel inclined to kick them out of the house? I don’t know. It’s not like I haven’t been motivating him either. I’ve looked up and searched for summer jobs in our town, and given him the applications, but he just won’t pay attention to them.
The worst out of all of this is that my parents will not shut up about it. I’m their first child and they’ve always been protective of me, but now they (my father really) totally disapproves of my boyfriend, and now I’m terrified of telling them that he and I want to get engaged. They’re angry that he won’t get a job, and it’s really rubbing off on me, and I am so emotionally shot this week.
I feel almost as if I’m falling out of love with my boyfriend because he suddenly isn’t the responsible man I thought I knew. I’m afraid to tell him that I don’t want to get engaged until he has a job and can actually pay for a ring. Even just $50 for a cheap ring is a lot when you have thousands of dollars of debt already building. And I don’t want him to have to be cheap. I am so depressed and don’t know what to do. This horoscope is very true, but I don’t just want to walk away. I don’t know what I’d do with myself if I lost him.
(sorry for the long rant, but I finally had to get that off my chest. I haven’t exposed how I feel to anyone yet, and I felt just floating around the internet would be the best way to go seeing as I probably won’t know anyone personally.)
