advice needed...marriage/engagement problem.

[RaggedyAnn]

My husband and I postponed our wedding for a year so we could save money. That year dot com happened and he works in the IT industry. His company suffered the ripple affects and went out of business. He was unemployed. It made saving much more difficult.

You never know what the future holds, but true love is hard to find. When you have it, don't let it go over finances.

You'll get a better job. You could also work towards your Master degree to get a better job. (The conversation now goes from I deliver pizzas to I'm working on my Master degree and delivering pizzas to earn some extra cash. You'd be surprised how much money you can make at that and the schedule is perfect for my lifestyle.) I'd work on a way to phrase what you are doing in social situations. I had to do that when I was underemployed and it made me feel a lot better about myself and my job.

It bothers you to be married to someone with a better job, but did it bother you to get engaged to someone with a better job? To date someone with a better job? You made it through all those steps, now what's the hang up here? That sounds like an ego problem to me and not even one that completely makes sense. I guess because I'm a woman, I wonder what she must be feeling. She's found love and has the chance to be a wife, maybe even a mother, have the love of her life to build a home and a life with...yet she's waiting on her fiance's self-esteem to be higher. I totally feel you and wish you the best on your job search, but come on! That's not fair to her and I think you're denying yourself a lot of happiness in the meantime.
